Everywhere Theatre Group aims to explore the place of theater in our ever rapid, technology-obsessed society in this funny, touching and wildly theatrical tribute to the art form. In this fusion of parody, the avant-garde, and real-life stories, a young and broke theater company attempts to make a play about mutant flying snakes that are accidentally released from the headquarters of CIA-enlisted scientists Dr. Inis Goodheart and Dr. Frank Sheckles, in hopes of high box offices sales. Under the setting of earth under attack, violent chaos ensues and government officials send Four Universally Combative Killers (a.k.a THE FUCKERS) to the rescue. Packed with dance, extremely cheap special effects and stunning video design, as this tongue-in-cheek science fiction parody aims to wildly entertain while daring to ask the question: Why are we still making theater?

About Everywhere Theatre Group
Everywhere Theatre Group is a theater company that is dedicated to producing new work created collaboratively by actor/choreographer Lindsay Mack, video//sound designer Chase Voorhees and writer/director Leah Nanako Winkler. Founded in 2008 by Leah Nanako Winkler, Chase Voorhees and former member/writer/director Teddy Nicholas, ETG’s mission is to produce engaging theater that honestly depicts our culture today by exploring obstacles like racism, sexism, technological miscommunication and the societal pressures to be rich, beautiful and well-adjusted. Our plays typically give voice to characters who aren't those things, but struggle to achieve them anyway, in the face of overwhelming failure. We are artistically concerned with the way our generation lives on an everyday basis and aim to present all sides of the generational equation with unforgiving honesty, objectivity and humor.

We have presented our plays at Dixon Place (Untitled - A Play), Ontological-Hysteric Theater (A Pale Horse, Death and Hell Followed With), TheWings Theater (Big Girls Club), The Brick Theater (Happy Dance Dance Princess Show!), HERE Arts Center (The Formula Play), Bar on A (Way of the Word - in collaboration with Republic Worldwide), aboard the Lilac Ship, Incubator Arts Project (THE INTERNET), Ohio Interrupted @ 3LD's 2011 Ice Factory (Dead People) and Ars Nova (Ant Fest 2011). ETG were 2008-2009 Resident Artists at the Ontological-Hysteric Theater's Incubator Short Form Series, and have been raved about by The New York Times, broadwayworld.com, nytheatre.com and called one of the most promising young theater companies in NYC. Check out our website at www.everywheretheatre.org
