The Kraine Theater Tickets: February 1 thru 10 Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays @ 8pm |
Horse TRADE and the NY Neo-Futurists are pleased to announce the world premiere production of Apocalypse Neo.
Monkeyland II (anatk 21.10) In which the end of the world... Revelations Of a City Of Us finds that the only thing scarier than the Apocalypse itself is when the presumed last man on earth forces his friends to recreate theatrical civilization in twenty minutes. |
The NY Neo-Futurists, recipients of the 2006 NYIT Award for OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE ART PRODUCTION , weekly create Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind, which is an ever-changing race-against-the-clock attempt to perform a “menu” of 30 original plays in 60 minutes. The unifying element of the show is that the ensemble members appear as themselves on stage, speaking directly from personal experience. The result is an incomparable theater experience that is immediate and unique. More information is available at www.nynf.org

Ryan Good is a New York Neo-Futurist for the entirety of his life, but it was first acknowledged by the rest of the world in the beginning of 2006. He fancies himself a performer, writer, and actor (in that order) but is pretty willing to give anything a whirl. Thanks to all the neos for letting me get comfortable in their inner worlds, it'll be a great place to crash when the real world ends. |

Eevin Hartsough lives and acts in and around Manhattan . She is one of the newest members of the New York Neo-Futurists, performing regularly in Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind.

Emma Gordon is from Australia. She has the accent to prove it. Emma has an uncanny ability to be the only one in fancy dress at parties and if there is a pool at a wedding, chances are she'll fall in it. Some of her finer moments include: Traveling to over 25 countries, sharing a stage with Tony Randall (briefly) and being one of NYC's first female pedicabbers. Emma's goals include learning to salsa, running a marathon and story-telling via stage, screen or too many beers, every chance she gets. A group hug to the NY Neo-Futurists for the invite to be apart of this brilliantly creative production. |

You can find Leslie performing at the Magnet Theater most weeks, either doing improv or performing her comedic songs on the guitar. Leslie is a pretty big deal and if you aren't in love with her, you're probably gay. |

Erica Livingston is a Neo-Futurist. She never gets tired of saying that last sentence.
