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

Our new show, Caucasian Chalk Circle, is right around the corner. Don’t miss out — it’s going to be spectacular.
In the 1920′s, when rents in Harlem started going up, people got the idea of having a few friends over as paying party guests a few days before the landlord’s monthly visit. The guests had a great time, and it cost them much less that they would have spent in some public amusement place. Thus the rent party was born.

With the economy the way it is, and the theatre the way it is, PL115 has come up a little short on rent at the end of our season. What could be better than a rent party?
We cordially invite you to Rachel’s questionable apartment for some dancing and bathtub gin. (Don’t worry. We’ll tell her to clean the bathtub.)

What: PL115′s Chalk Circle Rent Party
Who: Performance Lab 115
When: Saturday, May 30 at 9:00pm
Where: Rachel’s House – 360 Adelphi St., Brooklyn (view map)

Artifacts of Consequence has been generating a good amount of buzz in the press over the past week. Check out what the critics are saying:
“Deliriously imaginitive and talkent-rich … make no mistake: this show is as much pulp fiction as theater of ideas”
Jason Zinoman, The New York Times. Read more…
“Artifacts of Consequence is an important play that’s a joy to watch.”
Aaron Riccio, ‘kül. Read more…
“Halfnight’s ability to inspire audiences…simultaneously impresses and fascinates. The palpable tension in Kristjan Thor’s staging…makes the production continually engrossing.”
