DREAM
Feb 8 - March 2, 2008
Irish stories passed down thru the years often tell of a little impish people, 'fairies', who could cause mayhem, snatching unwatched babies from their cradles, playing tricks, turning lives upside down. Stolen away from Shakespeare's Midsummer, DREAM retells his story, but now infused with Celtic folktales of mischief and magic. Adapted and directed by Ryan Gilliam.
THE PIEMAKER
April 4 - April 27, 2008
An original folk rock musical created by Downtown Art resident composer Mike Hickey and director Ryan Gilliam. Set in rural Iowa, 1978, in a tiny diner where the pies are famous across four counties, lies a secret.....
Once upon a time, in a mad age we call the 60's, a handful of fervent young revolutionaries did all they could think of to change the world and stop the war. (The war and the 60's both ended; the ways of the world.. well... they seem to keep on going.) And afterwards, those young idealists disappeared....perhaps no longer idealistic, perhaps brokenhearted, perhaps wiser and more cynical, perhaps just swallowed up into the vast culture of America... and nothing remains. Or does it?
2nd Annual FESTIVAL OF HOME GROWN WORK
May 23 - June 1, 2008
Back after its powerful debut in 2007! A whole new festival!!! Downtown Art's young artists create and present their own theater, music, video, and dance works in a two-weekend long festival. Through this project young artists will receive support and coaching as they hatch an idea and bring it to life on the stage. You don't want to miss these startlingly fresh, bitingly wise, gloriously imaginative works!
All shows are at 61 E. 4th Street between 2nd Ave & Bowery.
Recommended for ages 7 to adult.
Tickets are $10 Adults, $5 Youth 18 and under
