Wings Theatre Company Presents REPO! Screening & Live Shadowcast Performance 7/10

In 2005 Wings Theatre Company hosted the New York City premiere of Repo: The Genetic Opera (Repo!), then a developing stage show spectacular created by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich. In 2008 Repo! was released as a movie, a Lionsgate/Twisted Pictures film, helmed by Darren Lynn Bousman famed director of Saw II, III & IV.

Saturday July 10th, 2010 Wings Theatre Company welcomes back Repo! for a special engagement movie screening and live shadowcast performance by the Zydrate Enthusiasts Network. Pre-show entertainment will begin at 10:30pm and the film will play at midnight. Special guests involved with both the stage and screen incarnations of the work will be on hand.

Repo! takes place in the year 2056 - the not so distant future - an epidemic of organ failures has devastated the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that not only offers organ transplants but has seen to the legalization of organ repossessions. Pay for your surgery in easy low cost installments if you wish but those who find themselves 90 days delinquent are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family's mysterious history. Debts are paid and scores are settled as tragedy leads to triumph at GeneCo's Genetic Opera celebration.

Come out and join us for a night of freaks, geeks and irreverent hilarity as we spoof and pay homage to Repo! at Wings Theatre Company located on 154 Christopher in the Archive Building, halfway between Washington Street and Greenwich Street. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online at http://www.wingstheatre.com or by phone by calling 212-627-2961.
