terraNOVA Collective to Present JUST SOUTH OF RENOWN Workshop, 12/7-8

terraNOVA Collective presents a workshop production of Jason Downs's comedic solo show, Just South of Renown. Written and performed by Jason Downs and directed by Tom Butler, this limited engagement will run December 7 - 8 at the New Ohio Theatre.

Before there was the instant fame-machine of X-Factor, America's Got Talent, or The Voice, Jason Downs dreamed of being a superstar. Once a child-star on track for fame and fortune, appearing in feature films (Hairspray, Clara's Heart with Whoopi Goldberg) and topping the charts as a country /hip hop recording artist, Jason Downs had and lost it all. Join him as he sings, dances, and shares his giddy rise to fame and hard-luck fall from grace.

Show Dates:
Saturday, December 7th at 8pm
Sunday, December 8th at 3pm

All performances take place at the New Ohio Theatre, 154 Christopher Street. (Subway: 1 to Christopher Street).

Tickets are $15.00 and are available at www.terranovacollective.org
