Horse Trade & StrangeDog to Present BOOTSTRAPS at Kraine Theater, Begin. 11/2

Horse Trade Theater Group and StrangeDog Theatre will present encore performances of BOOTSTRAPS by Ben Clawson, November 2nd, 9th, & 16th at The Kraine Theater (85 East 4th Street between 2nd Avenue and Bowery). The production will be directed by Artem Yatsuov with Assistant Director Amanda Mae Cohen and will feature Scott Cagney, Rob Hille, Paul Romano, and Sebastian Smeureanu. The creative team will include Lighting Design by Rebecca Bickley, Set Design by Peter Martino, and Sound Design by Artem Yatsunov.

It's midnight in the forlorn warehouses of the Branch Hill Industrial Supply Company. A band of low-rung employees have been called in late on special assignment, coincidentally on the same night the promotion to the mythic position of Corporate Representative might finally be available...but only for tonight. This odd little comedy investigates if there's anything they won't compromise, sacrifice or betray to get ahead, and where the hell "ahead" even is.

The production will run for three Saturday night performances only, November 2nd, 9th, and 16th at The Kraine Theater (85 East 4th Street between 2nd Avenue and Bowery) at 7pm. Tickets ($18; $15 students & seniors) are available online at www.horseTRADE.info or by calling Smarttix at 212-868-4444.
