The air is crisper, the days start to get shorter.   It is FringeArts season, and we continue our tradition of hosting experimental performances with one of the anchor organizations that established Neighborhood House as a cultural home. We've also recently celebrated the union of Matt & Sarah with their many artist friends.   Here's the whole, glorious, charming, homegrown night in a one minute video from JJ Tiziou Photography:

White Rabbit Red Rabbit
Nassim Soleimanpour
(Iran)

Sept 6th - 13th

No rehearsals. No director. No set. A new actor for each performance. On stage in a sealed envelope the script awaits as the audience arrives. An actor, who has never read the script, steps on stage and opens the envelope. Now, the audience seated, the actor performs the script for the first—and last—time. And then a carrot, a ladder, a bear, a circus, some poison, a playwright, and the audience are ensnared in this wild theatrical adventure written by an author who could not leave his country and wanted his work to get out into the world.

In the Pony Palace / FOOTBALL
by Half Straddle (NYC)

Sept 17th - 19th

Get bruised, get dirty, get up and destroy. An all-female and genderqueer cast recreates the frenzied intensity of the historically male high school football experience. As the games are played out on stage a live high school band blares out pop songs charging up the fans—and the audience. In the Pony Palace/Football immerses the audience in the relationships and power dynamics within a team—and explores how young athletes come to place belief and commitment in something bigger than themselves.
