Four Rivers Theatre Studio Finds A New Home At Germano's Trattoria, Announce A Fall Circus Play

This season, there's a new theatre in Little Italy. The Four Rivers Theatre Studio, a center for creating new theatre, finds a home at GERMANO'S Trattoria - in the same large, comfortable upstairs room that houses the restaurant's popular Cabaret.

This fall, over seven Sunday-afternoons, the Studio shapes a new comedy about a circus --and invites YOU to be part of the process.

FALL PROJECT: THE CIRCUS PLAY

The Premise: A small European circus company travels to America for the first time. Among the clowns, aerialists and animals of the circus - as well as the sisters who operate it -- this trip to America triggers a desire to become something new and to leave old ways behind. The possibilities inherent in this new identity is for them "America's promise." Clowns, weary of being trapped in repetitive comic routines, wish to be taken more seriously. Aerialists want to be more grounded. And the animals, too, wish to transform themselves -- perhaps into something more human.

THE PROCESS

Theatre-goers share in the full range of the Studio's playmaking process as it gives form to the Circus Play. Audiences are invited to offer comments, insights and stories that relate to the circus project -- or to simply observe -- in a fun, exuberant and creatively dynamic environment.

The Studio invites you to take a chance and become part of putting together a new play.

Food and beverages are available through GERMANO'S -- before, during or after
each session. Please support our host!

PERFORMERS: Lauren Billingsley, Christina Frank, Allison Plourde, John Sowalsky -- and other visiting artists.
