'Woyzeck' to Perform Sept. 23rd- Oct. 29th at Under St. Marks.

Counting Squares Theatre will present WOYZECK with Horse Trade Theater Group at UNDER St. Marks.

In this new and gripping adaptation, set in the present day south, we will take a poignant look at the effects of wartime on young men. After seeing war and bloodshed, Franz Woyzeck returns home to his lover and child. Unable to reintegrate into society, perform sexually, or relate to those around, he is thrust into a world of confusion and chaos. Incorporating Andrews Sisters style music throughout, this production is both timely and entertaining.

WOYZECK features Stephen F. Arnoczy, Jared Baugh, Kendra Holton, Dan Kane, Aaron Kirkpatrick, Dena Kology, Madeleine Maby, Ryan Nicholoff, Deborah Radloff, and Kristin Stewart.

The production, produced by Horse Trade Theater Group and Counting Squares Theatre, will play at UNDER St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place) September 23-October 29, Tuesdays & Wednesdays at 7pm. Tickets ($23) are available by calling Smarttix at 212-868-4444 or online at www.horseTRADE.info

Counting Squares Theatre is a grass roots ensemble company that serves to create theatre to both entertain and reflect the issues, struggles, and joys of our community. Our primary task is to find new works and reconstruct classic pieces that reflect the human condition.

We celebrate, through performance, the delicate balance of human relationships and aspire to the creation of theatre as an art form. Through the integration of ideas from all our company members we aim to provide accessible theatre to our audiences. We believe in magic; and that sometimes a chair and an actor is all the smoke and mirrors you need.

Horse Trade is a self-sustaining theater development group; with a focus on new work, it has produced a massive quantity of stimulating downtown theater. Horse Trade's Resident Artist Program offers a home to a select group of Independent Theater artists, pooling together a great deal of talent and energy. It is also the home of FRIGID New York - the first and only festival of its kind in New York City.
