The Internet.

ETG attempts to stage the world wide web in The Internet. Fusing dance, movement, video, music, original and found texts, ETG examines what lies beneath the cool, sleek surface of the information super highway.

Nellie Tinder’s
FOR ARTISTS ONLY
December 10–19

FOR ARTISTS ONLY is a 21st century comedy of manners about three young female artists spending the summer doing battle at a New England country home. An intricate diorama of female friendship and the violence that lingers beneath its surface.

At the awesome Ontological Hysteric Theater! More info and tickets at http://ontological.com/

“There have been numerous pieces of theatre, film, television, and literature that have embarked on a journey into the psychologically violent depths of the social impact of female body image on the lives of women and young girls. Big Girls Club…is maybe the most direct and biting I have experienced”
– Matt Johnston, nytheatre.com, on ETG’s summer 2009 show at The Brick Theater

A Pale Horse… is a theater piece about a generation’s ‘strife’ for happiness in modern American culture through an examination of human connection, cruelty, stupidity, and death. By tackling the universal issues of work, love, and faith, Everywhere Theatre Group is injecting dramatic moments with frightening outcomes to standard narrative subjects. Two lovers destroy themselves, blinded by their own selfishness. Office workers murder each other. Computers come to life and sing.

ONE WEEK ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Show:
A Pale Horse, Death & Hell Followed With (A Lifetime Original Series) is a destruction of clichés in American media. This show is a rollercoaster ride tackling universal issues (work, love, fear and death) with an injection of illogical dramatic moments resulting in frightening outcomes of standard narratives.
