In this production by NYIT Award-nominated Caps Lock Theatre, nytheatre.com "Person of the Year" Mariah MacCarthy reunites with director Leta Tremblay on their second site-specific production together, this time at an Astoria apartment. Mrs. Mayfield... is part play, pArt Party, in which a group of former classmates (now all pushing thirty) reunite for a night of drinks and nostalgia. As people revert to their more childish sides, Lord of the Flies-style, what follows is a battle for affection, power, and ownership of memories. Also: nineties music!
Audience members will be fellow guests at the party, with the freedom to wander the space (Sleep No More-style), and have complete control over how interactive the experience is for them: a red nametag means, "Don't talk to me," while a green nametag indicates, "Yes, interact with me."
The project, presented by Caps Lock Theatre, will play at an undisclosed location in Astoria, near the Ditmars Blvd. N/Q subway stop. Audience members will receive the location upon purchasing their ticket. Performances are Friday May 31-Sunday June 2, Thursday June 6-Sunday June 9, and Wednesday June 12-Sunday June 16. All performances are at 8pm. Tickets ($18) may be purchased online at mrsmayfield.brownpapertickets.com or by calling 1-800-838-3006.
