On September 13th at 9 PM, there will be a launch party for the new theatre company stageFARM, dedicated to edgy contemporary theatre.

The party will take place at Fat Baby (112 Rivington, between Essex and Ludlow).  The evening will feature Butthole Surfers frontman Gibby Haynes spinning before/after a private performance by Spank Rock.  There will be an open bar from 10 PM to midnight.

Drug Buddy, by David Folwell (Rattlestick Theatre's Boise), is stageFARM's inaugural play.  It begins performances Wednesday, September 27, 2006 for a limited engagement through Saturday, October 21 at The Cherry Lane Theatre (38 Commerce Street between Barrow & Bedford streets). Opening night is Saturday, September 30 at 8:00PM.

According to press notes, "Drug Buddy is about staying up all-night and waking up transformed into the person you never wanted to become....Wade is recovering from a night of firsts: His first drug experience, his first sexual experience, his first brush with death. It's been an eventful night, if only he could remember it. Wade's best friend Bodie remembers only enough to know that they need to get out of Texas. Fast!"

The show will be directed by Alex Kilgore. The cast features Jesse Hooker, Carrie Shaltz, Jake M. Smith and Matt Stadelmann.

Drug Buddy will play: Tuesday - Friday at 8:00PM and Saturday at 3:00PM & 8:00PM. Tickets are $37.50 and are available by calling SmartTix at (212) 868-4444 or by visiting www.smarttix.com.
