New Georges Presents the World Premiere of GOLDOR $ MYTHYKA: A HERO IS BORN, Beginning 4/3

Watch, if you dareth, as love and hunger collide most fantastically with the elusive American dream. In hearty games of Dungeons & Dragons, young Bart and Holly escape the dreary reality of hauling money all day in armored transport vehicles. When jobs are lost and the boss starts looking at Holly funny, escape becomes reality, releasing Goldor & Mythyka upon the world! Thusly, lucre shall be heisted! Throngs shall cheer their criminal exploits! And Have Nots will rule the day. Until... reality regenerates with a vengeance.

Goldor $ Mythyka is based on a truly true story! In 2008, playwright Lynn Rosen read an article she couldn't get out of her head... A nice young couple enamored of fantasy role-playing games, Roger Dillon and Nicole Boyd, steal $7.4 million from an armored car company in Youngstown, Ohio. By the time they're captured just 350 miles away (in Pipestem, West Virginia), the public has dubbed them the "Goth Bonnie and Clyde."

The production, presented by New Georges at The New Ohio (154 Christopher Street between Greenwich and Washington; Subway: 1 to Christopher Street, A/C/E or B/D/F to West 4th Street) will play a four-week engagement April 3-27; Wednesday through Saturday at 8pm, Sundays at 5pm, and Mondays at 7pm. Tickets ($25/$35 premium) may be purchased online at www.smarttix.com or by calling 212-868-4444. For more information or to purchase group tickets call New Georges at 646-336-8077.
