Rave Reviews for The Ring Cycle

“A very satisfying mix of pop culture and high art … It’s golden fun – from an ensemble that goes all the way to the mat.”

- Carol Cooper, The Village Voice

“Dipping from two pools of unlikely source material, The Ring Cycle (Part 1 and 2) gets it right, and like a deep fried snickers bar, it is unexpectedly delicious.”

- Julia Furlan, Culturebot

“An ambitious, potentially sacrilegious and extremely rewarding adventure in creative adaptation.”

- Benjamin Sutton, The L Magazine

“Parts 1 and 2 are so brilliantly conceived I’m anxious to see what they’ll do with Siegfried and Twilight of the Gods.”

- Lynn Berg, nytheatre.com

Happy Holidays!

Thank you all for your support over the past year.  We’ve been so pleased to have met such lofty goals we set for ourselves in this, our very first season, and we couldn’t have done it without your support.

Our bigger, bolder 2009-10 Season is already underway, beginning with a critically-acclaimed run of The Verge at Ontological and followed soon by our upcoming productions of SINK and The Ring Cycle, pt 1. We can’t wait for you to see them.

None of this would be possible without your generous support. We hope, as the year comes to an end, you’ll consider making a tax-deductible donation to help make 2010 an even greater success.

Happy Holidays to you and yours, and see you in 2010!

SINK at chashama in March!

SINKWe’re pleased to report that our new project, SINK has been selected for inclusion in chashama’s Residency Program!

Quoting from chashama’s press release:

chashama is pleased to announce the three winners of its competitive theater company residency award: Panoply Performance Laboratory, Sponsored by Nobody, and Performance Lab 115. Each company will work at our 217 East 42nd Street theater for five weeks, developing and presenting new work. Residents receive administrative, marketing, and technical support, as well as a $1,500 production grant. Each group will present performances open to the public, dates and further information to be released at a later date.

The residency affords us a rare opportunity to develop a new project in the space in which it will be performed — something we’ve never been able to do before!  We’re grateful to chashama for giving us this amazing opportunity, and for continually investing in our company’s artistic growth.

Stay tuned for more details about the further development of SINK in our residency in Feb-Mar 2010!

Rave Reviews for The Verge

“[The Verge] is given full room to breathe by the director Alice Reagan and Performance Lab 115.”

- Claudia La Rocco, The New York Times

“In mounting their version of this piece, Performance Lab 115 has brought to fruition a production that is boldly and disturbingly unique.”

- Fred Backus, nytheatre.com

“[PL115] proves that Glaspell’s most peculiar, elusive, moody work is also one of her most insistently complex.”

- Leonard Jacobs, Backstage

“delightfully mad-eyed”

- Helen Shaw, Time Out New York
