Elephant Run District Opens RABBIT ISLAND 2/23

Rabbit Island is a comedy about what it takes to become a real New Yorker. Coming to the city to fulfill your destiny can be as perilous as riding the Cyclone. And dating people here? Forget it. The ones who haven't become crazy are so wrapped up in weird stuff it's hard to have something genuine. The city can grip you and shake you for all you're worth. Some days it seems the only choice you have is between losing your focus and losing your mind. It all turns into a Shoot the Freak game…and guess who the freak is?
