The New York Neo-Futurists will present their full-length experiment, The Great American Drama at the Jeffrey and Paula Gural Theatre/ A.R.T. New York Theatres (502 West 53rd Street). The Great American Drama is created by Connor Sampson and written by Connor Sampson, Nicole Hill, Dan McCoy & Katy-May Hudson, with Direction and Dramaturgy by Greg Taubman. The show will begin on January 17, open on January 22 and will run through February 5, 2017. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the company in character below!
The Great American Drama is a living, ever-changing theatrical experiment to test the validity of the American Dream; that anyone, regardless of their given circumstance, can achieve prosperity and success through hard work and determination. Through interviews and surveys, potential audience members will tell the creative team how they like their theater and what would make them buy a ticket, and four Neo-Futurists will strive to deliver every request. After each show, the audience will be invited to review the performance and the cast update the show accordingly in pursuit of theatrical success...that is, until their run at A.R.T./ New York ends on February 5th.
The cast features Connor Sampson, Nicole Hill, Dan McCoy, Katy-May Hudson and Lijie Y. Creative team includes Justin Cornell (Technical Director/Lighting Designer), Andrew Hanley (Composer), Ross Jernigan (Projection Designer), Chie Morita (General Manager), Greg Taubman (Co-Director/Dramaturg), and Hadley Todoran (Stage Manager).
Tickets are $18 online, $20 at the door and $15 for students at the door with a valid ID. Group sales are also available. All tickets can be purchased by visiting www.nyneofuturists.org.
