On Monday, March 2nd, 7:30PM The Theatre Company at CAP21 presents: The Dorothy Strelsin New Works Reading Series By Proxy, A New Play, by Amy Fox and Directed by Terry Berliner.

The Zipper has closed but that is not going to get the Things to Ruin gang down. While they look for a new home, join Joe Iconis and family for a THINGS TO RUIN PEP RALLY - FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, beginning at 8PM at DALTON'S (611 9th Ave, between 43rd and 44th). This is a FREE event. An announcement regarding the future home of T2R is coming shortly, but until then- let the party continue - have some fun, make some noise, sing some songs and put our arms around the people we love. As a wise man once said, 'They can take away our home, but they can't take away our rock and roll. Things To Ruin is about human beings who are messy, emotional, drugged up, knocked down, inspired, electric and who don't have nearly enough time to cause the kind of commotion they so desperately need to. Performed by a cast of viciously talented young singers and a highly flammable four-piece band led by Joe himself, Things to Ruin rocks with an occasionally profane and always heartfelt explosion of music and high drama.

Things To Ruin, the critically acclaimed, incendiary collection of songs by Joe Iconis will return to The Zipper Factory Theater (336 West 37th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues) with weekly Friday night performances beginning Friday, January 9, 2009.
