Immersive Adventure STARS IN THE NIGHT to Make NY Premiere in Dumbo This September
By: Julie Musbach Aug. 06, 2018
Following a sold-out, extended engagement in Los Angeles, Firelight Collective and Hillary Ellison are pleased to present the New York Premiere of STARS IN THE NIGHT, an intimate and immersive theatrical adventure exploring multiple locations in the historic waterfront district of Dumbo, Brooklyn. The production will play a four-week limited engagement from September 13 - October 14, with an opening night set for Sunday, September 16.
Written and directed by Firelight Collective artistic directors Stephanie Feury and Nathan Keyes, STARS IN THE NIGHT unravels across the cobblestone streets, homes, and businesses of Dumbo, Brooklyn. Intimate groups of twelve audience members are taken on a journey to witness the fallout when a woman suddenly goes missing, and the ripples of her disappearance illuminate mystifying connections between seeming strangers. An original story performed by nine actors, STARS IN THE NIGHT is staged throughout four locations - from the iconic 19th century warehouse newly-refurbished as Empire Stores, into secret and unexpected environments and intimate living spaces, revealing a deeply powerful and engaging experience. STARS IN THE NIGHT is presented in special partnership with famed Brooklyn distillery Van Brunt Stillhouse, integrating full-sensory experience into this one-of-kind theatrical adventure.
The company of performers includes Matt Brown, Allison Byrnes, Benjamin Chase, Davonna Dehay, David Haley, Hannah Broderick Kraft, William Nicol, Deanna Noe, and Jennifer Sacks. Production Design is by Matt Pulliam.
STARS IN THE NIGHT runs approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes. Tickets are now on sale at www.starsinthenight.net. The regular performance schedule is Tuesday-Sunday with five performances per night at 7:00PM, 7:30PM, 8:00PM, 8:30PM, & 9:00PM; additional performances will take place on Monday, September 17, and there are no performances on Wednesday, September 19. Audience members are emailed the starting location details 48 hours prior to the performance. Please be advised: this show will have you on the move!
