Women's Project's Site-specific "Global Cooling: The Women Chill" Opens 6/3

For these PLAYS, there is NO CURTAIN, NO FOOTLIGHTS, NO STAGE. Just six site-specific, short related plays from Women's Project theater company written for the lobbies, mezzanines, escalators, bridges, nooks and crannies of the World Financial Center complex, 220 Vesey Street, that people pass through every day. The plays, grouped under the title Global Cooling: The Women Chill, share one topic: global warming is not so hot. Presented for only nine performances, Global Cooling: The Women Chill will reveal the truth about the changing environment.

All written, directed and produced by women, these plays take place in real time and touch on the issues of Global Cooling that affect not only real people but scientists and mother nature.

Global Cooling: The Women Chill, presented free Wednesday through Saturday, June 3 through June 6, is the third site-specific theatrical event Women's Project has delivered to arts>World Financial Center and is another installment of "hit and run theater" where business people, tourists and shoppers traveling through the World Financial Center may walk around, through or in a play without even knowing they have a role in the performance.

Part of this experiment from Women's Project's playwright, director and producer lab is to see how real people react as a play happens next to them or around them or even with them.

Global Cooling: The Women Chill is presented by arts World Financial Center www.artsworldfinancialcenter.com and River To River Festival www.RiverToRiverNYC.com and is a production of Women's Project www.womensproject.org
