SHOWGASM Plays At Ars Nova 8/11

By:

As New York's premier hub for emerging artists and new work, Ars Nova is committed to developing and producing eclectic theater, comedy and music to feed today's popular culture. To that end, Ars Nova strives to create daring collaborations, meld disciplines and give clear voice to a new generation of artists. Founded on the principle that a professional and safe environment where risk-taking is encouraged will cultivate a community of innovators, our fundamental mission is to reinvigorate the world of live performance by supporting smart, surprising new work from the next wave of emerging artists. Ars Nova was founded in memory of Gabe Wiener.

Ars Nova announces upcoming events for the month of August, including Showgasm and Break of Reality.

 

Showgasm
Tuesday, August 11 at 8PM
$10
Curious who we've got our eye on? Want to say you saw them when? Nova Scouts comb the city and scour the internet to bring you Showgasm, Ars Nova's all new, quarterly variety show filled with the next wave of cutting-edge comedy, music and theater talent. Not to mention oddities, occasional celebrity drop-ins and all out fun!

Break of Reality
Wednesday, August 12; Friday, August 14; Saturday, August 15 at 8PM
$20
With a genre-defying rock/classical sound, three-cello and percussion ensemble Break of Reality are at the forefront of New York music's next wave. Performing original material off their new album, Spectrum of the Sky, as well as selected covers (yes, even of Metallica) you'll want to catch this group before their imminent rise to baroque-pop stardom.
