Thanks again to all who came to see the show! We had a great time performing it, and it was so good to see so many of you out at The Chocolate Factory.
“The production has such zing and visual cohesion…we never forget Reagan’s or the ensemble’s thrilling potential: Not even two hours of Brecht could alienate us from them.”
“Tickets to Performance Lab 115’s production of Caucasian Chalk Circle are only $15, but the show would be worth seeing at five times that price. The cast is stellar, the scenery and costumes strikingly inventive and the performance has a level of energy to which all plays should aspire.”
“PL115 does an admirable job of keeping this lumbering fairy tale moving forward with excellent staging that gives room to the tender moments and lungs to the spectacle of cruelty that coexist in Brecht’s alternate reality.”
“If the play warns of the ‘terrible temptation to do good,’ it seems as if PL115 has given in. … a brisk, compassionate version of a difficult script.”
Check out snippets from our 2008 workshop of Caucasian Chalk Circle and get yourself psyched up for our latest production of Brecht’s classic — opening June 25th at The Chocolate Factory.
If you came to our Gala this year, you’ve already seen these guys perform. And if you haven’t, you should know that we think they’re awesome. We’ve been big fans of theirs since we saw The Persians a few years ago.
All of the info about their newest show, #9, is below. Check it out!

FROM THE AWARD WINNING CREATORS OF
THE|KING|OPERETTA COMES #9!
Waterwell is proud to announce its newest creation, #9, starting on Jun 5 at 59E59.
Fusing harsh beats and bleak electronics with surging pop and sunny balladry, #9 is a swirling new music theatre piece about technology, identity and relationships.
As innovations allow us to give and get information, share opinions and express our feelings in ways that were unimaginable even a few years ago, #9 confronts the question: how are the tools we create shaping the contours of our experience – transforming how we think and act?
The results are exhilarating, frightening and unpredictable.
Performance Dates:
June 5, 2009 – June 28, 2009
Tues & Sun @ 7:30pm
Wed – Sat @ 8:30pm
Sun @ 3:30pm
