"There are two kinds of theatre in this country. Commercial theatre ... and theatre that matters. You make the theatre that matters."
-Edward Albee, addressing the audience at the 2008 NYIT Awards

The Theatre Is Dead and So Are You is a vaudevillian meditation on mortality that will stare death in the face and laugh. Twelve variety veterans will burlesque Death, using Vaudeville's unsentimental vernacular to theatricalize one of the most sentimental (and sensitive) subjects.

You can peek at some retreat photos and read all about the process on Stolen Chair's blog.

David Bengali's stunning design for Stolen Chair's Commedia dell'Artemisia has been selected by Rose Brand, the country's largest production supply company, to showcase their digital printing services.
