Last night marked our first theatrical production at our new space in the Flat Iron. It was fitting that the production was our new salon/soiree WORKBOOK and the theme was "Like a Virgin". We had a great line up of short pieces, a wonderful crowd of people and the vibe was right on (even Company member veterans like Jeremy Getz, Miles Polaski Sam Porretta and Sandra Delgado were giddy with excitement)! Thanks to all the arists that took some risk and made it happen.

The entire organization is pumped about the new space and we can't wait to unleash our first full production, SKETCHBOOK REVERB, a caberet retrospective of 8 of the best shows from the more than 150 we have produced in the festival's 10 year history.
