Photo Flash: Andrew Unterberg's THE CROW MILL Hits The New York International Fringe Festival 8/20-21, 8/25-26, And 8/29

It’s said you can’t choose your family, but what if you could?

The 2009 New York International Fringe Festival presents The Crow Mill, (www.TheCrowMill.com) a new play by Andrew Unterberg. The Crow Mill runs Thursday, August 20th at 9:30pm, Friday, August 21st at 4:15pm, Tuesday, August 25th at 2:30pm, Wednesday, August 26th at 12:45pm, and Saturday, August 29th at 7:45pm at The Cherry Pit (155 Bank Street between West Side Highway & Washington St.).
 
In The Crow Mill, a brilliant scientist, guided by his wife, tries to reconstruct lost memories of his childhood. His mother holds the key to solving these unanswered questions, but with Alzheimer's slowly eroding her memory, his chances of gaining closure are slipping away. The Crow Mill is about change - changing minds, changing times and in the face of it all one family’s attempts to stay together.
 
The cast features Geraldine Librandi (Patty Leotardo on “The Sopranos”, “Astoria”), Quentin Mare (The Philanthropist, Rock ‘n’ Roll) and Margot White (The Farnsworth Invention, The Traveling Lady.)

The Crow Mill is directed by Eli Gonda (Associate director for the Broadway productions of Cyrano de Bergerec, Nine, Fiddler on the Roof, The Glass Menagerie,). Costumes are designed by Alana Unterberg (The Infliction of Cruelty) and the lighting is designed by Jen Schriever (Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, You’re Welcome America, The Color Purple). The rest of the creative team will be announced shortly.

The Crow Mill marks the follow-up play from Andrew Unterberg, the co-author of 2006 Fringe Overall Excellence Award Winner, The Infliction of Cruelty. The New York Times called The Infliction of Cruelty “clever, literate, and incisive” and Backstage calls the play “sophisticated and slick,” while American Theater Web applauds “finally a Fringe Show with some style.”

“It is very exciting to be back at the FringeNYC,” said Andrew Unterberg. “With all that is going on in the world, The Crow Mill is certainly of the moment and I am thrilled to be part of a festival that truly fosters creativity and self expression.”

Tickets for The Crow Mill are $15, and the show plays at The Cherry Pit (155 Bank Street between West Side Highway & Washington St.) from August 20-29, 2009. Tickets can be purchased by calling (866) 468-7619. For more information, please visit: www.TheCrowMill.com or www.FringeNYC.org.
