NEW YORK MADNESS, A Co-Production With The Navigators, Comes to The Kraine Theater

The January edition of New York Madness will take place on Sunday, January 28 at 8pm at The Kraine Theater (85 East 4th Street between 2nd Avenue and Bowery). The lineup will include Matt Barbot (El Coquí Espectacular and the Bottle of Doom, Two River Theater), Jack Gilbert (Mea Culpa), C.J. Ehrlich (Zane to Gate 69, The Cupcake Conspiracy), Aleesha Nash (Lipstick/Cherry Lane), Judith Leora (Showpony, Next Stage/Capital Rep), Libby Emmons (SF Olympians), Madhuri Shekar (In Love and Warcraft/Alliance, Queen/Victory Gardens), and David Adam Gill (Providence at Roy Arias Stages),

The Navigators will produce the January edition of New York Madness and chose this month's theme, which is Black Hole Madness.

New York Madness is a raw and unpredictable show of short plays by an ensemble of playwrights presented fully staged with scripts in hand. They write a short play and cast it, rehearse it, and bring it in on its feet. The collected works create a kaleidoscope of cultural moments reflecting this moment in time, framed by a theme that is chosen just one week in advance of the show. The primary goal of Madness is the exploration of modern American Playwriting through the use of theatrical storytelling.

New York Madness takes place every last Sunday of the month at The Kraine Theater (85 East 4th Street between 2nd Avenue and Bowery). Tickets ($10) may be purchased in advance at www.horseTRADE.info.

The Navigators' mission is to produce Science Fiction Theater with a clear feminist perspective. They are dedicated to elevating female driven stories in a genre dominated by men by empowering women playwrights, producers, directors, designers, and actors in our productions. We seek to engage new audiences, realize new and daring realities, and expand the boundaries of what theater can achieve by fully exploring sci-fi on stage. NY Madness is excited to work with Bella Poynton (Artistic Director and Playwright), Ariel Francoeur (Producing Director and Resident Director), Melina Neves (Literary Manager and Resident Actor) and Jesse Kane-Hartnett, Creative Director and Resident Director.
