With a 51-member ensemble performing in the street while the audience looks on from inside a theatre, Jonathan Solari's "The Love Letter You've Been Meaning to Write New York," is far from an open book. The elaborate multi-media street spectacle's world premiere plays a 4-week engagement from Wednesday September 21 through Sunday October 16, at 3LD Art & Technology Center, 80 Greenwich Street. The opening is set for Saturday September 24 at 9pm.

Combining video, movement, puppetry, live music and scripted performance, "Love Letter" uses 3LD's floor-to-ceiling windows to frame the proceedings and to invert the play-going perspective. Thanks to sensitive audio and video equipment, audience members experience the interior world of the play as it unfolds outside in the real world.

Members of the press are invited to see this production from the inside out on the following nights:

Thursday September 22 at 8pm
Friday September 23 at 7pm & 9pm
Saturday September 24 at 7pm & 9pm (opening)
Sunday September 25 at 5pm

Conceived and directed by Jonathan Solari ("Green Sneakers"), "Love Letter" introduces us to a disillusioned young man, played by Arnaud Spanos, on the day he has decided to leave New York for good. He's hit rock bottom and is ready to go, but as he tries to leave, an eclectic array of colorful and wonderful New Yorkers show him he has much, much further to go.

"The Love Letter You've Been Meaning to Write New York" performs 28 times in a limited four-week run from Wednesday September 21 to Sunday October 16, at 3LD Art & Technology Center, 80 Greenwich Street. The performance schedule is as follows: Wednesday & Thursday at 8pm, Friday & Saturday at 7pm & 9pm, and Sunday at 5pm. For tickets, which are $15, call OvationTix at 212/352-3101, or online at www.theloveletteryouvebeenmeaningtowritenewyork.com
