The earth is under attack after CIA enlisted  doctor scientists Inis Goodheart and Frank Sheckles accidentally mutate King Cobras with the SSS116, a strength-inducing  chemical compound originally intended for American soldiers who defeat terrorists.  Little did they know that the SSS116 would give these snakes to fly and fight beyond their wildest dreams. As violent chaos ensues, government officials send Four Universally Combative Killers ( a.k.a THE FUCKERS) to the rescue.  Packed with extremely cheap special effects and surprisingly stunning video design, this tongue-in-cheek science fiction parody aims to wildly entertain while examining the why we do theater.

After a busy three years of making original shows, ETG is taking 2011 to  focus on  long-term development for a NEW 2012 project. More exciting info on that soon!

For now, we are seeking performers who are interested in collaborating with us for a long haul. (periodically throughout 2011) Send us a resume and pic at info@everywheretheatre.org. Video clips are a plus.

What We Are Looking For:

-dynamic performers who want to help create a collaborative project.

-drama-free artists who are in it because they want to make something special

-physical actors who like to jump around and do awesome things

-open minded peeps who are into experimenting with text that can be cut at any time (or tweaked to suit you as an individual)

What we aren’t looking for:

-wannabe celebrities

-those looking to get ahead in “the business”  through this show (we have great audiences and occasionally great press, but making art is our first priority and being in this show will not help you book your next commercial)

-mean narcissists  who get jealous easily

Also as usual, ETG is open  for collaboration opps and gigs. Please contact us at info@everywheretheatre.org for inquiries.

——————————biographies—————————

Lonely Christopher (Playwright) writes outside and across forms. His documents include poetry, fiction, dramatic work, and blog posts. His first collection of short fiction, The Mechanics of Homosexual Intercourse, is forthcoming in 2011 from Akashic’s Little House on the Bowery imprint, edited by Dennis Cooper. Into, a collection of long-form verse with Robert Snyderman and Christopher Sweeney, will be released early this year from Seven Circles Press. His poetry was first collected in the chapbook Satan by Small Anchor Press (2007); Small Anchor also released Gay Plays (2009), the first two plays in a trilogy of linguistic investigations into the queer situation, and later published the title in a Mandarin translation. His second poetry collection Wow, Where Do You Come from, Upside-Down Land? was released as part of The Corresponding Society’s “No Know” chapbook series (2009, out of print). This title was a conceptual and political treatment of the contemporary dialogue on gay rights; novelist James Hannaham wrote that the volume’s “anti-poetic poetry shows us the heights of pathos and the depths of foolishness around the issue, while delightfully mixing sexuality with textuality.” Christopher is a founding member of The Corresponding Society, its blog manager, and an editor of its biannual literary journal Correspondence. He curated The Corresponding Society’s second series of chapbooks, “What Where” (forthcoming in Spring), including titles by Robert Fitterman and Anselm Berrigan. He is also a founding member of The Institutionalized Theater, a writer-based company in Brooklyn, and has written and directed many dramatic scenarios for the group. His original plays, including his Gay Play trilogy, have been produced in New York City and ChengDu, China. He tried to direct the Bad Quarto of Hamlet in 2008, which ended in titanic failure. That same year he worked with playwright Mac Wellman on the production of his play 1965UU starring Paul Lazar. His writing has appeared in the anthologies The Physical Poets Home Library and Way of the Word. He is currently collaborating with composer Reese Revak on an opera. Lonely Christopher lives in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. Oh, and his gmail address is lonelychristopher, if you want to write for whatever reason.

Teddy Nicholas (Director) is a playwright, director, and stage manager from in Queens, NY. He was a Dixon Place HOT! Festival Artist from ‘07-‘08 where he wrote and performed a solo piece, STDs – Socially Transmitted Dissociation, and wrote and directed UNTITLED. He performed in 365 Days/365 Plays at HERE Arts Center and The Public Theater under the direction of Lenora Champagne. He directed the Wadsworth award-winning production of Christopher Shinn’s Four at Purchase College, where he earned a B.A. Drama Studies. He directed Big Girls Club (Workingman’s Clothes BINGE Festival at Wings Theater). Teddy co-wrote/directed with Leah Winkler A Pale Horse, Death & Hell Followed With (A Lifetime Original Series), a show developed from the Ontological-Hysteric Theater’s Incubator Short Form series. Teddy has stage managed and toured internationally with Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company with The Shipment (Brooklyn Arts Exchange, NY; Wexner Center for the Arts, OH; The Kitchen, NY; Kunstenfestival des Arts, BE) and assisted stage managed CHURCH (Under The Radar Festival 08 at The Public Theater). He also stage managed Thomas Bradshaw’s Southern Promises (PS122), Eliza Bent’s She of the Voice (Undergroundero Festival at PS122), Tommy Smith’s The Break-Up & Ken Urban’s The Happy Sad (The Flea Theater), Taylor Mac’s OKAY and Anne Washburn’s October/November (Ensemble Studio Theatre). He is a founding member of Everywhere Theatre Group.

Brendan Byrne (Sound Designer) is the current curator of experimental music and mixed media at The Tank, a non-profit performing arts presenter in New York City. He is co-founder and co-producer of the In/Out Festival (http://www.inoutfest.org), a day-long event featuring workshops and performances by leaders in the computer music industry.

As an apprentice with the Denver Center Theatre Company, Ramón had the honor of performing in such classics as The Tempest, Dream, On Monkey Mountain, The Women of Trachis, The Importance of Being Ernest, Bus Stop, Le Misanthrope and Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
