Alex Mills News

2017 was a landmark year for Low Steppa. His highly influential label Simma Black celebrated its 100th release with 'Karma', a record he produced with acclaimed singer-songwriter Alex Mills on vocals, and one that led to both label of the month and artist of the month awards from Beatport last summer.

Paata and Irina Tsikurishvili return to the stage in this new creation to honor Synetic Theater Founding Board Member Ina Milton and Founding Company Member Philip Fletcher. It is because of Ina and Phillip that Synetic Theater is what it is today; Ina for her relentless and generous support and Philip for his undeniable talent. It's been eight years since Paata and Irina Tsikurishvili have appeared on stage together, and they want to take this opportunity to invite you to share in celebrating Ina Milton and Philip Fletcher. Don't miss this once in a lifetime chance to see Synetic Theater's founding husband and wife team of Paata and Irina Tsikurishvili together again on stage.

Synetic Theater's Founding Artistic Director Paata Tsikurishvili will present the 13th installation of his Wordless Shakespeare series, Titus Andronicus.

Hot off the release of their club track BIRTHMAN with fellow Australian countryman LO'99, The Aston Shuffle are back with their 5th original release on The Magician's tastemaking Potion label with ALPHA LOVE featuring UK vocalist Alex Mills.

Given that it's the time of year when Synetic brings out ghoulish Halloween fare, the choice of a children's favorite like Peter Pan may come as a bit of a surprise. But in this incarnation, adapted in fine fashion by Ed Monk, this is a Peter with bite and enough darkness to keep even the grownups on the edge of their seat.

Take flight to Neverland with Peter Pan, his Lost Boys and the Darling children! In this magical place filled with fairies, pirates, and mermaids, Peter Pan and crew will battle the delightfully sinister Captain Hook with acrobatics that will leave you on the edge of your seat!

Director Kent Gash charges the space with electricity and ardent, sincere emotion. Gash asks a lot of his cast in an intimate setting; Wig Out! is a physically immersive experience.

The UK's biggest global breakthrough act, Jonas Blue, reveals his debut compilation album 'Electronic Nature - The Mix 2017'.

The Hangar Theatre has just announced the shows for its upcoming cutting edge Wedge Series.

The Drama League (Executive Artistic Director Gabriel Stelian-Shanks) has announced the eleven exceptional stage directors who have been selected as the 2017 Directing Fellows of The Drama League Directors Project.

Starring and directed by award-winning Irina Tsikurishvili, Synetic Theater proves that Shakespeare's words are not the only memorable attributes of his plays with their modern, Hollywood-spoofing adaptation of THE TAMING OF THE SHREW.

Synetic Theater announces the cast of The Taming of the Shrew which will star Irina Tsikurishvili, pulling double duty as both Director and starring as the feisty Katherine, and Ryan Sellers as the money hungry Petruchio.

Pipeline Theatre Company has announced Beardo, with book and lyrics by Jason Craig (Beowulf - A Thousand Years of Baggage), music by Dave Malloy (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812), and directed by Ellie Heyman (The Traveling Imaginary). Beardo will take place at St. John's Lutheran Church (155 Milton Street, Brooklyn - G Train, Greenpoint Stop).

This November, Pipeline Theatre Company is partnering with the New York Public Library (NYPL) to present six never before seen plays written by Pipeline's PlayLab Class of 2017 for this year's Matchstick Series: While We Slept, performed at the Jefferson Market Library (425 6th Ave, New York, NY 10011). 

Synetic Theater invites you to the 10th annual Vampire's Ball on Friday, October 28. This year, the Vampire's Ball will follow Synetic's hellish adaptation of Dante's Inferno. After traveling the nine circles of hell with Dante, guests will dance the night away with music courtesy of Resident Composer and Halloween DJ, Konstantine Lortkipanidze. The event will include an open bar, light appetizers, and a costume contest with fabulous Synetic prizes. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Those people building ambitious commercial haunted houses this month might just call if quits when they see how much they've been outdone by the inventiveness and intent of Synetic Theater's 'Dante's Inferno.'

Originally earning 11 Helen Hayes nominations and audience acclaim in 2014, Synetic Theater's silent 1920s-style take on TWELFTH NIGHT is re-staged this season - which is not a moment too soon. In a winning blend of quirky vintage comedy and surprising emotional depth, this production manages to reinvent Shakespeare in a way that's so energetic, it could never be called tired.

Synetic Theater's production of The Man in the Iron Mask is victorious during moments of silent montages and epic fight scenes, but its dialogue is at times ill fitting for such as beloved classic.

This January, Pipeline Theatre Company presents seven never before seen plays written by its PlayLab Class of 2016 in this year's Matchstick Series: Strange Tongues at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe (236 E. 3rd St, New York, NY). This year's PlayLab includes: Matthew Barbot, Jen Browne, Gina Femia, Reina Hardy, Jacob Marx Rice, Callan Stout, and Amy E. Witting. Performances will be January 13-15th at 7PM. Early bird tickets ($15) are now on sale and regular tickets ($18) go on sale on January 1st. Tickets are available for purchase online at www.pipelinetheatre.org/tickets. The show runs approximately 75 minutes, with no intermission.  

One thing is certain, when the lights go down in the Synetic Theater space, they will not come up on the expected; the imaginative company's signature is their unique and creative approach to storytelling on stage. They are known for their physicality and elaborate staging (you might have already experienced one of their silent productions; particularly memorable is The Tempest in 2013), and ALICE IN WONDERLAND is classic Synetic. Alice in Wonderland is one of those tales that lends itself to as many interpretations as there are people who read/hear/see it, and is thus fertile ground for the stage.
