The Sound and the Fury, 2:00PM & 8:00PM
New York Theatre Workshop
Elevator Repair Service, a theater ensemble, has been appearing on New York’s downtown performance circuit since 1991. The ensemble's body of work combines elements of slapstick comedy, hi-tech and lo-tech design, both literary and found text, found objects and discarded furniture, and the group’s own highly developed style of choreography. New York Magazine has called ERS “the best experimental theater group in town.” Recently, ERS' focus has turned to literature with pieces based on the work of Henry James, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Jack Kerouac. These include the Bessie Award-winning Room Tone (2002-2004), No Great Society (2007 at NYTW’s 4th Street Theatre) and Gatz, the group’s highly acclaimed marathon performance of The Great Gatsby. Gatz continues to tour the U.S. and Europe and will next be seen at The Dublin Theatre Festival. Continuing this exploration of American literature, ERS will now present a new work based on William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury, developed during several residencies at NYTW. Tickets $55, Cheaptix Sundays & Student Tickets $20.
Alice: End of Daze, 2:30PM
La MaMa E.T.C. - First Floor Theater
Conceived and directed by Beth Skinner and composed by Edward Herbst. Freely adapting Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass," live music, masks, and puppets play a vital role in creating surreal theatrics. The production's moving images are inspired by the early age of photography and 19th century optical toys with a range of visual media including video projections, exploring beliefs about time while taking on global warming and end of days scenarios. Tickets $18.
Brothers, 2:30PM & 7:30PM
La MaMa E.T.C. - The Annex
Inspired from a poem by Ellen Stewart, Adaptation and direction by Andrea Paciotto. Brothers is a new performance based upon the Old Testament. Brothers is developed with the theatre company Jazavac from Banja Luka, a city in Former Yugoslavia, today Srbska Republic in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Offucina Eclectic Arts (Spoleto, Italy). Tickets $25.
The Wild, Wild Women of Wakki-nunu!, 8:00PM
Horse Trade Theater Group - The Red Room
There is a legend spoken of in hushed whispers amongst connoisseurs of mystery, adventure, and fine living… a legend of an island paradise inhabited solely by a tribe of powerful and beautiful women… Amazons! Deep in the forbidden tropics they reside and conquer, their existence a closely guarded secret, their location an inscrutable mystery! It is this legend that spurs an over-the-hill actor-turned-nature-show-host and his beleaguered, put-upon sidekick to their greatest adventure yet! Aided by a sexy young starlet hungry for fame and fortune and a young photographer with a chip on her shoulder and nothing left to lose, their journey begins – only to be cut short by plane trouble and catastrophe! Now, the womanizing Jake Manley is about to learn that you should be careful what you wish for, when he finally encounters… THE WILD, WILD WOMEN OF WAKKY-NUNU! Tickets ($20) are available by calling Smarttix at 212-868-4444 or online at www.HorseTrade.info.

The Sound and the Fury, 8:00PM
New York Theatre Workshop
Elevator Repair Service, a theater ensemble, has been appearing on New York’s downtown performance circuit since 1991. The ensemble's body of work combines elements of slapstick comedy, hi-tech and lo-tech design, both literary and found text, found objects and discarded furniture, and the group’s own highly developed style of choreography. New York Magazine has called ERS “the best experimental theater group in town.” Recently, ERS' focus has turned to literature with pieces based on the work of Henry James, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Jack Kerouac. These include the Bessie Award-winning Room Tone (2002-2004), No Great Society (2007 at NYTW’s 4th Street Theatre) and Gatz, the group’s highly acclaimed marathon performance of The Great Gatsby. Gatz continues to tour the U.S. and Europe and will next be seen at The Dublin Theatre Festival. Continuing this exploration of American literature, ERS will now present a new work based on William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury, developed during several residencies at NYTW. Tickets $55, Cheaptix Sundays & Student Tickets $20.

The Wild, Wild Women of Wakki-nunu!, 8:00PM
Horse Trade Theater Group - The Red Room
There is a legend spoken of in hushed whispers amongst connoisseurs of mystery, adventure, and fine living… a legend of an island paradise inhabited solely by a tribe of powerful and beautiful women… Amazons! Deep in the forbidden tropics they reside and conquer, their existence a closely guarded secret, their location an inscrutable mystery! It is this legend that spurs an over-the-hill actor-turned-nature-show-host and his beleaguered, put-upon sidekick to their greatest adventure yet! Aided by a sexy young starlet hungry for fame and fortune and a young photographer with a chip on her shoulder and nothing left to lose, their journey begins – only to be cut short by plane trouble and catastrophe! Now, the womanizing Jake Manley is about to learn that you should be careful what you wish for, when he finally encounters… THE WILD, WILD WOMEN OF WAKKY-NUNU! Tickets ($20) are available by calling Smarttix at 212-868-4444 or online at www.HorseTrade.info.
