Horse Trade Theatre Group Presents FINAL CURTAIN: THE LAST OF ED WOOD, Now thru 7/1
After over ten years of being known as downtown theatre's most-loved purveyor of live B-Movie mayhem and stage adaptations of cinema's most notorious cult classics, DMTheatrics director Frank Cwiklik is indulging in what may be the most audacious and ambitious numbskull idea he's yet had - a binge-and-purge festival of five Ed Wood messterpieces adapted for the stage.
The performances include:
BRIDE OF THE MONSTER, a chilling and thrilling mad scientist epic, in which a disgraced mad scientist harnesses atomic energy to create a race of super beings.
Wed 6/20 @ 8pm, Sat 6/23 @ 8pm, Sun 6/24 @ 1pm, & Sat 6/30 @ 9:30pm
NIGHT OF THE GHOULS, the grisly sequel, in which a devious con man gets more than he bargained for when he uses the late madman's castle for his fake séances-- which may be raising the dead for real!
Fri 6/22 @ 7:30pm, Sat 6/23 @ 9:30pm, Thu 6/28 @ 8pm, & Sun 7/1 @ 1pm
THE VIOLENT YEARS, a cautionary tale of juvenile delinquency, chronicling the increasingly ugly escapades of disaffected teen girls on a rampage of sex and violence.
Thu 6/21 @ 7:30pm, Sun 6/24 @ 8pm, Wed 6/27 @ 8pm, Thu 6/28 @ 9:30pm, & Sun 7/1 @ 1pm
HOT ICE, a sexy and saucy crime caper involving a glamorous couple of con artists, a very wealthy rock star, a ski lodge battle between the snobs and the slobs, and the hotel manager stuck in the middle.
Sun 6/24 @ 1pm, Sat 6/30 @ 8pm, & Sun 7/1 @ 8pm
THE SINISTER URGE! the triumphant and contractually obligated return of one of DMT's biggest comedy hits, starring clumsy cops, sneaky smut peddlers, the girl next door, and a buxom crime boss.
Wed 6/20 @ 9:30pm, Sun 6/24 @ 9:30pm, Fri 6/29 @ 7:30pm, & Sun 7/1 @ 9:30pm
The festival, presented by Horse Trade Theater Group and DMTheatrics, will play at The Red Room (85 East 4th Street between 2nd Ave and Bowery), June 20-July 1. Tickets ($20 for one show, $30 for double feature) are available, as are festival passes and fancy schmancy VIP tickets. Seating in The Red Room is limited, so it is recommended that you purchase tickets in advance by calling Smarttix at 212-868-4444 or online at www.horseTRADE.info.
