Locked In The Attic Productions and The Secret Theatre present the World Premiere of LOVE IS DEAD! at The Secret Theatre (44-02 23rd Street, Long Island City, just one subway stop from Midtown Manhattan), running September 7th-23rd, 2017.
Whether your child is an aspiring performer, or just wants to build confidence and make new friends, STADA provides a fun and safe environment for every skill level. Each class begins with warm-up games, and continues with an exploration of simple techniques on how to build a character, to deliver a monologue, to work as a team for group scenes, as well as rehearsal for the final showcase. Each semester, the students work towards a showcase which is performed the weekend before summer recess and during the holiday week in December.
Unspoken and sublime, the passage of time and change nullifies the concrete foundations of tradition and heritage, destroying the function and significance of ideas and objects. The undertow also purifies, taking away mistakes and sins, resetting the landscape for new history to be drawn. What is left is the echo of the life lived in these places and nutrients ready for regrowth.

Local and International Artists to Showcase Work & Installations in Restored Paper Factory Hotel and Mundo New York Restaurant as Part of Annual LIC Arts Open - Queens' Largest Art Festival On Thursday, May 14, The 'Mundo We Live In' art & performance exhibition will host an opening party for its show at the Paper Factory Hotel and Mundo New York restaurant in Long Island City as part of the annual LIC Arts Open event in May to showcase art and performances by emerging local and international artists. The work exhibited will present direct, gritty and revolutionary points of view that will challenge even the most jaded art aficionado. Running concurrently with the Frieze Art Fair New York, the 'Mundo We Live In Show' challenges more traditional ideas about artistic expression, a stone's throw from Frieze, but a world away. 'The art in this show deals with the worlds we live in during our daily struggles, defects, and challenges and shows us where we come from and where we are going - on the outside and the inside of our perceptions and fears,' said Julián Calderón, director of artist relations, JP Art Acquisition, who curated the exhibition. 'The show was designed to challenge visitors to ask questions, comment and most of all share their thoughts about what they see,' added Calderón. Artists included in the exhibition will include (listed alphabetically): Facundo Bengoechea (Argentina); Julian Calderon (USA); Natalie Graetzel (USA); Zoltán Krizsán (Hungary); Shawn Lefevre (USA); Enrique Ortiz (USA); Alfredo Echeverria Ripstein (Mexico); SEK (USA) Christopher Stach (USA) 'We selected these artists because their work presents us not with answers but compels us to question ourselves and the world we live in and create,' said Julián Calderón. You can see the work of these artists at www.jp-artnewyork.com. In addition to showcasing art and performances, the exhibition will include curator and artist led talks and discussions. The show was conceived, organized and drawn together by JP Art Acquisition, private art dealers based in New York and Los Angeles, that discover, mentor and manage emerging artists from around the world and help bring them to the attention of collectors, galleries and museums. The exhibition was commissioned by Mundo New York restaurant located in the Paper Factory Hotel in Long Island City, a community that is fast becoming a cornerstone of art, design and fashion that's starting to rival its neighbor, Brooklyn.
