New York Theatre Workshop
Elevator Repair Service, a theater ensemble, has been appearing on New York’s downtown performance circuit since 1991.

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.

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!

Film Screening: Howard Better, 8:00PM
The Millennium Film Workshop
THE BIG CLOCK (7 min.-2007), SPUYTEN DUYVIL (31 min.-2007), RELEASING SHADOWS (Video Installation, various lengths - 2008). Howard Better will be present to show and discuss his recent videos. He last appeared at Millennium in 2005 with an earlier version of SPUYTEN DUYVIL and an exhibition of his collages in the Millennium Gallery. RELEASING SHADOWS is an installation involving four looped projections. "These movies are projected across the three planes in a corner of a room. When the image is divided into thirds, light is reflected from one surface to another, and new relationships between the fragments are created." - H.B. On SPUYTEN DUYVIL - "An exploration of some of the various neighborhoods (both real and imaginary) I have been spending time in, over the last five years or so." - H.B. "I have been making films and videos since the mid-seventies, most of that time in NYC. Although the movies in this show are from 2007 and 2008, their roots go back many years. Improvements in the technology have continued to offer new solutions to old problems. New tools allow for new ways of thinking, and love being a part of this process. Filmmaking is an evolving art form." - H.B.
