Hunger & Thirst Theatre Announces the Launch of IN ONE EAR

Hunger & Thirst Theatre has announced the launch of IN ONE EAR, which can be viewed for free at www.hungerandthirsttheatre.com until March 21. IN ONE EAR is an artistic version of the childhood game of Telephone. Hunger & Thirst Theatre commissioned four artists to create, one after the other, a digital performance. Each artist's first draft was passed on to the next participating artist to serve as the inspiration for their own creation. The project culminated with a film shoot of all four commissions at the West End Theatre on New York's Upper West Side.

IN ONE EAR features C.Bain, Ashley Grombol, Christina Liang, and Naeemah Maddox. The Creative Director for the project is Philip Estrera. The Executive Producer for the project is Patricia Lynn and additional producers are Natalie Hegg, Jordan Kaplan, and Emily Kitchens. The Technical Manager is Patrick Horn.

Hunger & Thirst Theatre is dedicated to re-examining timeless stories. Inspired by the ritual of gathering around a fire in order to break bread and share stories, Hunger & Thirst Theatre strives to be a communal hearthstone for artists and audience members from all walks of life. The company endeavors to foster a warm and welcoming space where the hunger and thirst for collective illumination can be satiated through the time-honored art of storytelling. Recent productions include Strangers in the Night, Pericles: Born in a Tempest (nominated for Outstanding Revival of a Play by the New York Innovative Theatre Awards), and Your Invisible Corset, a feminist retelling of Dracula.
