The first is a pioneer couple seeking the promised land of California. The second is a pair of modern day hedonists searching for a long lost brother. These two carry an enormous model of the Empire State Building, a bewitching object of unusual power that transforms the four travelers' lives for good.</p> <p><em>Why should audiences see your show?</em><br /> This 2009 Edinburgh Fringe sensation is making an overdue return to the city where it was conceived. It is emblematic of the vitality, immediacy, and genre-bending innovation of Page 121 Productions.</p> <p><em>What one thing are audiences going to remember forever about your show after they see it?</em><br />Can half-way to paradise be paradise itself? The Empire State Building holds the answers!</p> <p><em>What is exciting and/or unique about your show?</em><br />What begins in a historical framework quickly becomes an entrancing, unexpected Absurdist romp. The play simultaneously embraces and reinvents notions of life-changing journeys, enduring love, and theatre itself.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3303306336156620668-346962311014007362?l=westlethargy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Page121http://www.blogger.com/profile/09903976522221999272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303306336156620668.post-15373889058997591522010-07-05T10:33:00.000-07:002010-07-08T09:42:42.664-07:00<a href="http://www.page121productions.org/west-lethargy"><span style="font-style: italic;">West Lethargy</span></a>'s performance times at The Kraine have been announced:<br /><br />Saturday, 8/14 at Noon<br />Wednesday, 8/18 at 11pm<br />Thursday, 8/19 at 3pm<br />Sunday, 8/22 at 8:45pm<br />Thursday, 8/26 at 6:30pm<br /><br />Save [at least one of] the dates!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3303306336156620668-1537388905899759152?l=westlethargy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Page121http://www.blogger.com/profile/09903976522221999272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303306336156620668.post-84619162821058413812010-07-02T09:51:00.000-07:002010-07-02T09:56:15.598-07:00<span style="font-style: italic;">West Lethargy </span>will be performed at the <a href="http://www.horsetrade.info/InfoKraine.html">Kraine Theater</a> on East 4th Street, "<strong style="font-weight: normal;">one of the most well known downtown venues featuring Off and Off-Off Broadway productions year round."

Suzanne Lenz, Mikaela Feely-Lehmann, Graham Halstead, and Joie Bauer will all reprise their roles of Ellie, Nugget, Turner, and Ringle. And of course Page 121's very own Jeffrey Feola will once again don the lovely blues of the Postman (who is incidentally NOT based on any Kevin Costner movies).<br /><br />You'll all be able to see the group that received universal acclaim at last year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. <span style="font-style: italic;">West Lethargy</span> offers "Engaging performances all round" (The Stage) by actors "who deserve to go far!" (Edinburgh Festivals Magazine).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.page121productions.org/#/whos-who-wlethargy/4534502089">Click here</a> for info on all these rising young stars!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xUB-qmJWu2c/TCwPgN_HO1I/AAAAAAAAADQ/eiTYsHg-WBA/s1600/suzanne.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 123px; height: 94px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xUB-qmJWu2c/TCwPgN_HO1I/AAAAAAAAADQ/eiTYsHg-WBA/s200/suzanne.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488779092042398546" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xUB-qmJWu2c/TCwGR31KmFI/AAAAAAAAAC4/aEvSX1jnpAI/s1600/MLL-Large.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 135px; height: 90px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xUB-qmJWu2c/TCwGR31KmFI/AAAAAAAAAC4/aEvSX1jnpAI/s200/MLL-Large.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488768949972277330" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xUB-qmJWu2c/TCwG6uBctbI/AAAAAAAAADI/_B3LXOjgGxc/s1600/graham.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 124px; height: 92px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xUB-qmJWu2c/TCwG6uBctbI/AAAAAAAAADI/_B3LXOjgGxc/s200/graham.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488769651714078130" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xUB-qmJWu2c/TCwGk6HLNvI/AAAAAAAAADA/_kFMKF5OTNw/s1600/joie.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 137px; height: 90px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xUB-qmJWu2c/TCwGk6HLNvI/AAAAAAAAADA/_kFMKF5OTNw/s200/joie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488769277002200818" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3303306336156620668-882450697310221406?l=westlethargy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Page121http://www.blogger.com/profile/09903976522221999272noreply@blogger.com0
