Reading Resistance: RUR
336 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Welcome to Reading Resistance, a series of plays at the Old Stone House that explore theater as a form of resistance.
Listen to classic plays and new works read by world-class actors. Bask in whimsical visuals provided by animation, projection, and puppetry.
March: RESISTANCE TO UNREGULATED A.I.
Karel Čapek’s R.U.R.( Rossum’s Universal Robots)
Written in 1920 by Czech playwright, Karel Capek, R.U.R. is a dystopian melodrama about our confusing relationship with robots. Made in the early days of this technological age, alongside works like Fritz Lang’s METROPOLIS, R.U.R. defines the noblest intentions of humanity side by side with our fears and flaws. The play responsible for coining the word “robot” is witty, tragic, and not without surprising hope.
Sara Peattie of The Puppeteers Cooperative will provide live animation and illustrations.
As Mr Gallagher puts it “my eyes have always followed you around the room” I think this picture sums it up, I’m always in awe McPhee, always have been. Love you, happy birthday!! @rlmcphee

Now get those tickets! We run through 12/20! for tix!
4:00pm: The Wizard of Oz, Parkside Lounge, 317 E Houston St.
Starting this Saturday (and happening every weekend for next month), you can catch NYC's only queer British-style Panto - a holiday tradition in Great Britain since 1717, it can now be your new tradition too! The Land of Oz is reimagined with a drag queen Glinda, a gloriously camp Wicked Witch, and a Wizard who feels suspiciously like a tech-bro billionaire with more ego than magic. Flying Labubus, savage satire, and brand-new original music collide in a dazzling send up of The Wizard of Oz, Wicked and The Wiz that's as raunchy as it is riotous (adults-only!!)
5:30pm: Welcome to the Johnson's, 123 Rivington St.
Then head over to our favorite parent's basement to get some cheap drinks before it becomes overrun by the L.E.S. kids!
7:30pm: Cibao, 72 Clinton St.
Once you've successfully boozed up, grab some incredible Dominican food at Cibao (then head back out - the night is young!!)
(The Wizard of Oz opens on 11/22 and runs every weekend through 12/20 - grab tickets now!)
