Please join us this Friday, February 12th, for a special PRE-SHOW FEED event, brought to you in association with The Program (David Cote and Helen Shaw of Time Out New York working in partnership with Jeffrey Jones, playwright and cultural critic). Our event begins at 6pm, at the theater, with a free glass of wine and will run for just under one hour.
THE PROGRAM is David Cote, Helen Shaw and Jeffrey Jones— two reviewers and a playwright-cultural critic—who want the widest possible audience to feel welcome at the widest range of dramatically ambitious work. Armed with pre-show discussions and supplementary dramaturgical materials, THE PROGRAM roams from theater to theater, providing context to audiences at selected experimental productions. In the fine arts, museum-goers feel welcome at even the most abstract, difficult shows: docents, catalogues and wall text reach out to new viewers. But in the theater, we get tossed in front of the avant garde with little preparation. So, in the interest of deepening the conversation between audiences and those pieces pushing formal boundaries, THE PROGRAM offers a casual opportunity for enrichment and investigation and conversation—and a glass of wine too.
