3-Legged Dog have announced a one-week extension of the critically acclaimed YOUARENOWHERE, created and performed by Andrew Schneider. Part of The Tank's Flint & Tinder, their flagship theater program, YOUARENOWHERE began performances on Wednesday, March 9 and now runs through through Sunday, April 10. The performance schedule is Monday and Wednesday-Saturday at 8 PM, with matinees Saturday and Sunday at 3 PM. Performances are at 3LD Art and Technology Center (80 Greenwich Street, at Rector, in downtown Manhattan).

Tickets are available by calling Ovationtix at 866-811-4111 or visiting www.3ldnyc.org.

YOUARENOWHERE is a rapid-fire existential meditation, which mixes physics lecture, pop culture and personal revelation to dissect subjects ranging from quantum mechanics and parallel universes to missed connections and AA recovery steps. Using an array of complex visual and aural effects to produce a fluid, shifting landscape of sensory overload, YOUARENOWHERE transforms the physical performance space and warps linear time to short-circuit preconceived notions of individual perspective and what it means to be here now.

Critics agree that YOUARENOWHERE is a mind-bending theatrical event. The New Yorker called it "an astonishing coup de théâtre." The Village Voice said it was "revelatory theater!" Time Out NY raved that Schneider's performance is "tour-de-force," while Lighting and Sound America called him "a fearless and gifted performer." The New York Times called YOUARENOWHERE "inventive" and "astounding!"

Mr. Schneider's YOUARENOWEHERE collaborative team includes Karl Franklin Allen, Alessandra Calabi, Sandra Garner, Daniel Jackson, Bobby McElver, Peter Musante and Christine Shallenberg.

YOUARENOWHERE is part of 3-Legged Dog's Artist Residency program.
