AHHHHHHmen.

The annual approach of March 17th always brings me back to the South Side Irish Parade of my adolescence: that day when me and the other girls of my Catholic high school would stand for hours outside of Mr. Submarine on Western Avenue to watch nothing more than drunk people in green walk south in front of car dealerships. The day when, with our dyed green hair, we'd run from house to house eating corned beef and smoking one pack of Parliaments among the 12 of us with the parents nowhere in sight...because they were all staggering down the alleys with plastic cups of green beer. The day when the Chicago River was green, everyone was Irish (even though everyone was Irish), and the raucous fun everyone seemed to be having pretty much escaped me, cuz it seemed like any other day on the South Side, except that everyone had made an agreement to walk south together for hours and everyone else agreed to watch.

This weekend on East 4th Street, the New York Neo-Futurists can guarantee you the experience of mob-mentality fun and wonderment and maybe even pizza-eating, and that the color green has greater than a 1 in 6 chance of being spotted on our stage. You bring the cabbage; we'll bring the food coloring and these new plays:

Who's Not Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (Eevin Hartsough)
The absence/presence of light (Joe Basile)
Budding Mis-contextualizations in Bucketry (Rob Neill)
In honor of Womens History Month the Neo-Futurists use found text to turn the tables (Erica Livingston)
Remembrance of Things Lost 1969-2007 (a partial list) (Rob Neill)
Urban Optimist (Chris Dippel)
High-Five! (Eevin Hartsough)
Spinnin' A Dirty Feckin' Yarn (Jacquelyn Landgraf)

New Week Sneak Peek 2/29-3/1

2008-02-29T13:48:00.004-05:00

WHEW!! It's been a busy week. You know, cutting plays, thinking of plays, writing plays, watching Busey get busy with Garner, Jimmy Kimmel f*** Ben Affleck and Obama dance with Ellen, pretty much for the sake of writing plays. At least, that's how I live with myself each week for spending hours online catching up with the Joneses. When you're not in the show, it becomes a different, sadder story altogether. Because a Neo-Futurist without TML is like John without Garfield.

Here's what our fecund minds bring you this Leap-Year weekend:

it's a mandolin (Eevin Hartsough)
Ineffective Debate Techniques Nos. 87 through 92 (Jeffrey Cranor)
Untitled Head Piece #1 or What if everyone on the f**kin A train lightened up a little bit and rocked out with their c**ck out a little bit (Joe Basile)
Playing with the Audience (Chris Dippel)
this is more difficult than you think (Erica Livingston)

and one New York premiere:

Chekhovian/Pavlovian (Jacquelyn Landgraf)

Happy Snow Day!

2008-02-22T16:13:00.005-05:00

Today an old Vietnamese woman made me a cup of hot Ovaltine. Wasn't that awesome of her?

Why don't you trek out to the Kraine this weekend to see these 7 world-premiere plays?

Stand-Up Tragedy (Chris Dippel)
I'm over you and pumpkin butter (Jacquelyn Landgraf)
Neo-American _________ (someone is always the loser) (Ryan good)
Maybe it's already happened. (Jeffrey Cranor)
Be a Plagiarist (with music plagiarized from the Sherman Bros.) (Chris Dippel)
And you are a spark in the grandeur of space (Jacquelyn Landgraf)
The Elephant in the Room (Jeffrey Cranor)

Matthew Mackey - yes YOU, Matthew Mackey - the same Matthew Mackey pictured in the previous blog post - you MUST come see the show again sometime soon. After the show two weeks ago, you regaled us with a tale that we found so inspiring that it has been synthesized into a play that premieres this weekend. Peruse this week's goods, and see if you can figure out which one it is:

Neo Futurism Saves Lives. Etcetera by Sarah Levy
Joey Rizzolo on Joey Rizzolo, Neo-Futurist by Kevin R. Free

(Future employers or lovers of Joey Rizzolo, consider yourself warned.)

Pictures from Jan 11th & 12th

2008-01-20T18:20:00.000-05:00

I took some pictures during the show with the audience and wanted to share them with you. My new year's resolution is to "market" better. This means marketing myself, the neos, and yes, even you, the audience. So here it goes.

The picture above is from Friday, January 11th, 2008. I asked everyone in the picture to tell me a little about themselves. Here's the scoop from Left to Right.

Matthew Mackey, originally from Bloomingburg, NY, but now he lives in midtown Manhattan. Matthew is in love with someone that he shouldn't be in love with because right now that person could never fully love him back. (so sad)
John Nicholas LaMedica III, (is this last name spelled right? i hope so) but everyone calls him Nick. He lives in Manhattan but he's originally from Newark, DE. The sentence Nick told me about himself is, "She's from Ronkonkoma and she has turned me into the poet I've always wanted to be." (nick is mysterious)
Jordan Elisabeth Gothke, (I'm not sure I spelled this last name right either, sorry again) she's from Columbus, OH, and lives in Bowling Green, KY. She said she was here just visiting but felt like she looked so homeless that she could lie on the sidewalk and people would give her money. (i think she looked great)

This picture is from Saturday, January 12, 2008. I got all the way up in their laps that night and I look like a stiff although I was very comfortable. Here's their info from Left to Right.

Emily Doe is from central NJ, but she lives in Union Square (FANCY!) now. She is extremely close with her family, and she would have given her last name, but her overprotective family advised her against it. She's also a law student. She can knit, but only scarves, and she ate a Kit Kat bar that once belonged to Bob Dylan.
Dan Rodman, he's from South Jersey but now he rolls from the Financial District and he says that's not his choice. He likes Sufjan L orchards. (Now I goggled this a lot, I have realized I am terrible at reading handwriting so maybe I read it wrong but my guess is it's Sufjan Stevens who you can download from theorchard.com but Dan correct me if I'm wrong)
Lauren Melnick, she was born and raised in NYC and still lives here and when she was seven years old she was delirious from a high fever and shouted, I don't want to be Batman anymore!" (it's a lot of work being batman and then you add a fever to it, my god!)

Well, there they are! Six of our cutest audience members! A lot of them are repeat offenders and I love that. That's why they had the balls to sit on the front row. Thanks y'all!

2 of the 27 Jennifers are Neos

2008-01-20T17:36:00.000-05:00

Here is Mike Doughty's new video 27 Jennifers from the CD "Golden Delicious."

Can you name the two NY Neofuturists in the video? It's kinda tough since everyone looks weird and sexy and oddly similar in night vision. I'll give you two hints: 1. moustache 2. teeth-brushing. Also, there's a great flash of the NY Neo's babyhead sticker on Mike's guitar at the end.

We love you Mike! Thanks!

Global Stage Entrance Abstract: January 18 & 19

2008-01-17T16:09:00.000-05:00

I'd be a bad Neo-Futurist if I didn't keep abreast of current events and the general state of the world, and while there may be many ways in which my artistic practice has failed, this is not one of them. Thanks to the BBC headline feed that pipes right into the frame of my browser window, I can (in true Neo-Futurist style) randomly click on any headline for fodder whenever I need to pen something topical. Sometimes my random clicks provide me with information that could directly affect my lifestyle, like "Disease risk to mozzarella output!". Sometimes they simply fascinate me, like "Poisoned websites attack visitors". And then there's the really really really British news items, that often befuddle me.

Today, it was the news that Kumble captured his 600th test wicket that left me scratching my head. Yet, the humor surrounding the two nations separated by a common language is perhaps even more delightful for the British this week, as a video featuring Crazy Town mayor Tom Cruise in which he spoke at length of Scientology surfaced. I worry sometimes that this is seen by those outside of the United States as an index of American culture. Worse, I worry that it IS and index of American culture. And he doesn't even mention the arrival of humans on Earth by way of the Galactic Confederacy and an enormous fleet of Douglas DC-8 airliners.

In any event, here's what the research of the Neo-Futurists yields this week, whether aided by BBC internet feeds, the Body Thetan spirits seen by Old Father Hubbard, or just the unsavory science of truth:

Is that the Race Card in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? by Kevin R. Free
Neo-Futurist Does Impressions by Eevin Hartsough
It's All Fun and Games Until by Sarah Levy
Duplicate by Sarah Levy
note to self (Sandpoint, Idaho) by Jeffrey Cranor
The Perfect Candidate by Joey Rizzolo

I think it was about cricket. I don't really know what cricket is. I think there's a bat. And apparently, there's Ewoks.

Doing my part for love

2008-01-14T16:05:00.000-05:00

This sign was taped to a pole outside of my Sunset Park subway station...I'm reposting the photo I was compelled to take of it in case it is intended for you:

Faggots and mash

2008-01-12T06:15:00.000-05:00

Borgi, I went there, I saw it, I documented for you: faggots reign supreme in the U.K!

The Terrible TWOS Continue

2008-01-11T04:24:00.000-05:00

Well, this past weekend was a party, TWO, to be exact (see previous blog post for proof.) And we have even more for this weekend. Nine new plays, numerous party hats and one very delicious cake each night.

We rolled a seven but cut nine (that is a bonus of TWO newbies for you.) Here they are:

We All Know What This Is Really About, We Think by Sarah Levy
Elevator: Love Song For A Day Job by Eevin Hartsough
Thanks, Blender! By Eevin Hartsough
perhaps i have said too much... (creation of an inside joke you are now privy to) by Ryan Good
A Neo Comes Clean Silently by Erica Livingston
Lorenz's Butterfly by Ryan Good
An Open Letter Entitled, "Oops, I am a Slave for You Again One More Time" by Erica Livingston
Remember This: Say Nothing by Sarah Levy
Shakespeare Supernumeraries: A How-to in Five Acts by Joey Rizzolo

Below is a picture I took during the show on Saturday. I would like to tell you why I took it but instead I will wait and let you see for yourself at the show this weekend. Who knows, it may be a picture of you here on the blog next week...

This one features me and three awesome audience members: Jen Blazek from Nashville (but she lives here now), Erin Mihalik from South Carolina and Diana Wright from Washington D.C. (they were both visiting Jen for the weekend.) They are all really rad chicks that work in the technical side of theatre and I hope they come back soon.They sat on the front row and were so much fun. Ideal Neo Fans!

So we will see you this weekend and all Crank dat Yank!

look at how pretty you are

2008-01-08T13:48:00.000-05:00

This past weekend was the beginning of a month of "terrible twos" parties celebrating our two year anniversary at the Kraine Theater. Everyone that comes to the show in the month of January gets party hats and cake (what more could you ask for?) and look at how great the party hats look on. I was so overwhelmed by the cuteness that I had to take a picture during the opener and post it here. Here's another one where you are all playing peekaboo with me. So adorable. Happy Birthday Us!

We're Back!

2008-01-03T13:13:00.000-05:00

The first show of the New Year! It feels so good to be back. We're rested and refreshed and we've got six new plays:

9 to 5 by Eevin Hartsough
Or, 2008 Could Be Like This: A Schmaltzy Yet Sincere Demonstration by Christopher Borg
Bhutto Butoh by Joey Rizzolo
No Country for Young Women: a true or false test by Erica Livingston
Knock Knock, Who's There? Interrupting Resolution by Erica Livingston
2 deer 1 cup and a bird: the cycle of abuse continues by Erica Livingston

The picture above is not one of the deer in the show but he is a deer. His name is Ethan and this is what he looks like when he hangs out with me in Rockaway on a milk crate while we wait for the bus.

I can't wait to see you all this weekend.

the neo-past

2007-12-31T12:07:00.001-05:00

Above is a recent photo of our former digs in Brooklyn. We called this building home in 2004, back when we first started picking fights with theater in New York. I was looking through some of those old plays (admittedly, a very UN-Neo-Futurist thing to do) and I was surprised at how many I actually remember. Given that we've produced 1122 plays to date, that's a lot of space being taken up in my brain, especially considering that a large percentage of those plays aren't even relevant anymore.

The irrelevance of such a large portion of the Too Much Light... canon is truly a great testament to our achievement, as we fight each week to write toward the timely. Had you come to the Kraine at 10:30 on any weekend in 2007, you might have learned that there was a vote in Iraq or that an unsettling number of nooses have appeared in America this year or that Dick Cheney has a bastard grandson. You may have felt a twinge of sadness remembering that for once, Marcel Marceau really is in a box, and that he is in good company with Norman Mailer, Captain America, and Coney Island. Perhaps you already knew that whales don't speak English or that New York tax code is antiquated or that it rains a lot in England, but those events were particularly significant to the world this year, definitely to us, and hopefully (dare I say, consequently?) to you. Do you know the content of Executive Order #13233? That Patti Lupone may or may not appear in Gypsy next year? That New York has an embarrassing track record on gay marriage when compared with its neighbor across the river? That there was an act of unspeakable violence on October 10th? Maybe there were things that we told you that you didn't want to know, like the fact that a certain homosexual wizard once-upon-a-time hated muggles, or that the Doody family eats faggots (according to the BBC, anyway). I suppose there are things that you can dispute as 'fact,' like the legitimacy of Sesame Street or the illegitimacy of Barry Bonds' home-run record or the quasi-legitimacy of Suzan-Lori Parks' as a Neo-Futurist. But some things are indisputable: Play number 10 was did indeed express profound solidarity with its brothers on the picket line. Once upon a time, it truly was a new thing to say "It's 2007" (yes it was).

There were also very personal stories that have since crashed and burned. Kevin cried during Kid Nation. Eevin (the same Eevin who this year amassed a disturbing collection of boogers, fingernails, loogies, and hair, both human and cat) loses about 100 IQ points when in the presence of Barry Shapiro. Borg would do anything for his friend, Jason Bowcutt, and Jacq's friend Roommate Dave would do anything for Jacq. Erica has lost (figuratively and literally) some people very important to her. Shitty bartender Jenny finally got her green card. This September, my 11-year old began sixth grade at the same middle school from whence his old man was unceremoniously expelled (he's almost 12, and after 4 unsuccessful months at said middle school, he'll be moving to a new school on Wednesday). Ryan has loved and lost. And he learned to swim - maybe you were there to see that. Maybe you were there when Sarah learned how to play chess. Maybe you were there when Jeffrey's older self came from the future to see him in Too Much Light (actually, we're not sure if this happened or not, but perhaps YOU spoke to the elder Cranor!). Maybe you were there to see myself, Rob, & Jeffrey (in ascending order of heterosexuality) playing tonsil hockey with another man for the first time. Maybe you saw the effects of the Neo-Futurists inadvertently conditioned to express violence when in the presence of bossa-nova.

Even 2007 seems like eons ago right now, much less our opening in Brooklyn. If you saw all of that (and everything that I'm omitting), then I lay prostrate before you. If you saw some of it, then perhaps I budge from my sprawl now and again for bathroom breaks, but I thank you all the same. And if you missed it all, well friend, we look to the Neo-Future, hopefully to see you in 2008.

thanks

turning japanese?

2007-12-16T17:06:00.000-05:00

Those fluent in Japanese may appreciate this review of Too Much Light. The rest of us will thoroughly enjoy this translation, courtesy of babelfish:

Mecca of the off & off broadway, the [untranslated] theater of yeast [untranslated] (The Kraine Theater) with continuing the long run of 1 year or more, Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind (TML). Each time 5 - It is the show that 7 actors play the play 30 in 60 minutes.

You laugh, there is a political news item, with there are some which can be made the top [untranslated] and, sewing involving, the toaster, the spray and the umbrella, such as balloon various path tools being used and socks the places of interest of this show. It is pleasant even visually, also the selection of music of BGM is foppish. Weekend in the performance 2nd, every week 2 - 12 these plays insert and substitute. In other words, when going to seeing 1 month later, it is the case that it puts out and inserts the thing completely and has substituted.

When it enters into the theater, at that sunrise it does and it transfers the menu where the title thing 30 is written. So, it is not the case that play is performed in the order. Whenever one play ends, the audience saw, it starts being and when you shout, the actors following number of the thing to the request and making the following play start is rule.

Because the number of seats is the theater where at the very most 50 seats are small, it reaches the point where the fact that also the audience is the member of TML naturally is enjoyed. Return reaction to the actors of stage positively, in several plays the audience having risen to stage and the [untranslated] doing and playing in the [untranslated]. So, as for such function being not to turn you feel at rest in the foreigner whom the shy person and English are poor. The actors do, some person has come to the theater, being to see carefully.

The secret which also the [untranslated] enjoys the show of TML not to be the native speaker of English, the one of the actors, it tried hearing in lob [untranslated]. "It can enjoy show even with visual and, there is also the play lines there is no either one word it is. When it is long play, however one place lines just are not recognized the entire story stops knowing are also times when, as for this show 1 2 minutes. One it is not understood and passes, can enjoy the following play certainly."

With various path tools and action, it can enjoy even visually.

Today safely in 60 minutes performance the play 30. When 60 minutes it passes, the buzzer to sound, there as for show end. Also the audience cooperating, unless tempo it advances well, not being able to see last play!

Lob [untranslated] which is the actor of TML and is the play lighter/writer (Rob Neill)

Every week gold earth 22:30 raising the curtain.

Last night at rehearsal, our tech goddess, Lauren, brought the Neos charming Christmas crackers. Here's some of us modeling our fancy crowns. We also got whistles and jokes. I can only remember the punchline to my joke: "The turkey---it's too stuffed!" Can't seem to remember the first part of it... Feel free to make up your own.

This weekend marks our last 2 shows in 2007! Come to Best Of, drink a cup of kindness yet, and sing us this song

Naval! But not a naval orange!

2007-12-10T16:51:00.000-05:00

So we have a Facebook, like every other performing arts group in the world (especially the arts groups we are friends with on Facebook...and MySpace....and Friendster). And I thought it was just this awesome way to let everyone know what was going on - until I also realized it was this awesome way to have our egos stroked.

Yes, we got a wall post that said we were inspirational. But personally I think the photo of dear Miles, who was inspired by one of Joey Rizzolo's plays from the late fall/early summer, is what is truly inspirational.

Never has the word thorax been this cool. Let's hear it for Miles, another contender in the theater of writing on your own body!
