The Spring Fling is made possible in part with public funds from the Manhattan Community Arts Fund, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council."The Spring Fling," a collection of one-act plays to be presented in April -May 2011 in the 3B Development Series at IRT, is a co-production between F*It Club, led by Executive Director Allyson Morgan, and MSK Productions, led by Executive Director Mara Kassin.F*It Club, comprised of an up-and-coming group of actors, writers, directors, and producers, was founded with the goal to provide community, access and opportunity to those who have been unable to successfully navigate the "system" due to lack of funding or positioning. We say "f*it" to waiting for opportunity to knock. We are seizing opportunity and making it ours.MSK Productions is committed to presenting new work by emerging playwrights, such as the critically acclaimed New York premiere of Brooke Berman's "Until We Find Each Other," in June 2010, where Allyson Morgan and Mara Kassin met and discovered their similar producing aesthetics and goals.
Tucked away in the old Archive Building on Christopher St., IRT is a grassroots theater development laboratory providing space, support and community to independent artists. Through its 3B Development Series, IRT offers radically affordable space residencies enabling artists to experiment, take risks and test drive new work before adventurous audiences and fellow creators. The 3B Series opens up a rare middle ground in New York's theater ecology between readings and full productions, creating a supportive environment for full-bodied exploration and iterative development.
