The Attic Theater Co Presents THE ARGUMENT 3/10-12
By: Gabrielle Sierra
The Attic Theater Company begins the second week of performances for the NYC premier of Gregory Moss's play The Argument at DCTV, a landMark Firehouse in downtown New York City. The show is directed by Drama League and Williamstown Theater Festival Fellow, Kerry Whigham. Remaining performances run March 10th-13th at 8pm.
The Argument is a unique multimedia theatrical experience that imaginatively depicts the issues raised nationally by the Katrina disaster. It investigates how we deal with death in America: through denial and abstraction, foregoing grieving in favor of a relentless optimism. The audience moves throughout the space as scenes are illuminated by the cast of more than twenty actors, a live jazz band, and video projections.The Argument was originally produced at The Hangar Theater in 2007, as part of director Kerry Whigham's Drama League Fellowship. Whigham's recent credits include the Williamstown Theater Festival Directing Fellowship, Ars Nova Director in Residence, Drama League Fellowship, Lincoln Center Director Lab, and productions with Naked Angels, Brown University, NYU and the Public's Summer Play Festival. Playwright Gregory Moss's most recent work Orange, Hat and Grace performed at Soho Rep garnering the respect of Scott Brown from New York Magazine, saying "...this latest one-act by Gregory Moss works its way into the creases of your soul, conjuring influences as disparate as Pygmalion and Beckett and Shepard ...". This production is the third collaboration between Moss and Whigham, the most recent, a production of punkplay was called a "...brilliantly funny dissection of adolescent grasping for identity ..." by Time Out Chicago.Times: All shows 8pm
