THE GREAT DAWSON NICHOLS PERFORMS VITUAL SOLITAIRE!
We're helping an old Seatttle buddies of ours remount a sololy-performed, technology-infused, murder mystery thriller for NYC fringe and there's no doubt that it's going to be something excited! Here's the info:
Seattle-based playwright and performer Dawson Nichols brings his internationally celebrated solo show VIRTUAL SOLITAIRE to the 15th Annual New York Fringe Festival. VIRTUAL SOLITAIRE is a play-for-one-person about Nathan, a man lost in a full-immersion virtual entertainment. The game is a murder-mystery, and as Nathan tries to find his way out he begins to realize that this might be more than a game - someone might be intentionally keeping him online.
He surfs through more than two dozen characters in the entertainment, searching for the shifting line between VR (virtual reality) and RL (real life). And perhaps this is the mystery of the murder-mystery. And if that's true, perhaps the murder is his own. See a preview of the play at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csu81awsN-g.
VIRTUAL SOLITAIRE was named Best Play at both the Saskatoon Fringe Festival and the Edmonton Fringe Festival, and has also been seen all over Australia and the Pacific Northwest. This will be its New York première.
Dawson Nichols has written more than two dozen original plays and adaptations, including Escher's Hands, which was nominated for the National New Play Award of the American Theatre Critics Association. He is best known for his solo works which have toured extensively throughout North America and abroad. Among his full-length plays-for-one-person are I Might Be Edgar Allan Poe, which is also playing at the 2011 FringeNYC, Three Descents of Darwin, Jekyll, Stop Start, and Meet Brian Boomer. Dawson has received commissions from Seattle Children's Theatre, ACT Theatre, and Aha! Theatre. He has also received a fellowship from Artist Trust, a grant from the King County Arts Commission, and in 1997 he was nominated for the Elizabeth Osborne Emerging Playwright Award.
VIRTUAL SOLITAIRE will run for five performances only: WED 8/17 @ 7:00pm; SAT 8/20 @ 2:00pm;TUE 8/23 @ 2:30pm; THUR 8/25 @ 4:00pm; FRI 8/26 @ 8:00pm. All performances will be at The Players Theater at 115 MacDougal Street. Tickets are $15 in advance at fringenyc.org or by calling 866-468-7619. $18 at the door.

PHOTOS: Acres of Clams!
Photos from the 2011 AiB SITEfest production of ACRES OF CLAMS are finally here, thanks to our friends and lovers and fans of the show. In case you might of missed it (and it's possible, considering the right-appropriate, torrential Washington State downpour), the show marked a sold-out success for us, and resulted in fully bellys, good clean jams (save the song 'bout Savage Poon) and some reckless square dancing (the Washington State Dance!

NEW SHOW!!!!
NEW SHOW!!! UP AND AT 'EM!!!
In only a few short weeks we'll be presenting the world premiere of ACRES OF CLAMS:
From the press release:
Come one, come all to the mythical land of Western Washington, the Pacific Northwest, where the rivers flow with the sweat and tears of hard-skinned loggers, where the air smells of cedar trees and salmon skin, where the rain tastes like the salted tears of Kurt Cobain, and where pioneer sasquatches run heartily through the wood-planks streets. Based on Linda Allen's epic collection of Washington State folk music, WASHINGTON SONGS AND LORE, (originally compiled for the State Centennial), ACRES OF CLAMS: A TOUR THROUGH THE COMPLEX, DAMP, and POIGNANT HISTORY OF WASHINGTON STATE gives audiences an overview of all things Washington History; through the eyes of a hopeful pioneer woman, and her backup band of loggers, dancing Dungeness crabs, the state's famous exports, this is a variety show telling of a people, their state, and the rain-soaked forging of a regional identity!
Show's at the Bushwick Starr, 207 Starr Street, Brooklyn, NY! 5:45 pm, on March 6th!!! Performances by the ZEBROS, Damon Pelletier, Kara Christianson, and Katie Henner (wearing her Choreographer's Hat!)
ACRES OF CLAMS appears as part of ARTS IN BUSHWICK SITEFEST!
PLEASE COME!!!
Here's a Trailer:

New Video: Our Pineapple Shoot.
Our video from the December 2010 concept shoot at Parsons School of Design, NYC. Ta da!
In a exploratory workshop, we examined the play through self-shot, intimate videos, resulting in a tightly focused work at three angles: one from our audience, and two from each of our actors (In this case myself, Amy Rose Marsh, and Kristina Wilson), who in rapid motion passed a Flip camera between them. The result is this vid, and while it includes none of our audience generated video (we'll work it in shortly), it does explore live some techniques we are looking to use in other pieces.
This piece is slated for another performance soon. Details up and coming.
