Cooler than Kill Bill, hotter than Shaft! The OBIE Award-winning Ma-Yi Theater Company teams up with the NYIT Award-winning Vampire Cowboys for 'SOUL SAMURAI' the story of Dewdrop and her fight through the mean streets of a post-apocalyptic Brooklyn. After avenging her lover's murder in the heart of Coney Island, Dewdrop now must make it back home to the Lower East Side before the shoguns of Kings County find her. In a play that mixes hip-hop culture, blaxploitation, and the martial arts, this production dials it back old school with this seventies-inspired samurai story. This is one slick slice with a sharp sword and a score to settle! 'SOUL SAMURAI' is being sponsored by the 2009 New York Comic Con.
The Irondale Project Ensemble is proud to announce the first of an ongoing series: Irondale's Big Box of Distractions: Kids Day at the Theater on Saturday, February 14TH at 1 PM. The event will be held at the Irondale Center (85 S. Oxford Street in Fort Greene). Each event will be between one and two hours long and will cost $10.00 for the first child and $5.00 for each child after that. Adults are admitted FREE with a child. Go to www.irondale.org for more information. This first in the series will have a holiday theme for Valentine's Day. The Irondale Ensemble will sing love songs, both modern and ancient; perform love scenes, serious and silly; and work interactively with the audience to create wacky love letters and improvised scenes. All material is appropriate for children as young as six. The afternoon will culminate in a celebratory feast of red velvet cake and a cocktail of ginger ale (or juice), served by the actors. This event will be the first in a series. 'We plan to have at least one family Saturday every month,' said Executive Director Terry Greiss, 'And each one will have a different theme.' On March 28th the ensemble will host a story telling performance/workshop, led by Brooklyn storyteller Tracy Cook-Person. On April 18th musician Walter Thompson will lead participants through an interactive musical workshop called Sound Painting. In May two very different sessions will be offered: a movement and dance workshop, featuring the theater troupe Blue Mouth on May 9, and a restaging of Irondale's famed production Celebrating Dr. Suess on May 30. 'We really want these events to provide kids and parents with opportunities to experience new things-and also to experience joy. Each performance or workshop will end with a shared meal-cake seems appropriate for Valentine's Day, but maybe we'll have callaloo on the Story-telling day. It all depends on what the artist we're working with that day wants, and also with what's cooking in the neighborhood.'
