past In August 2010 we took part in the 14th Annual New York International Fringe Festival. We performed in the studio theater at the beautiful historic Cherry Lane Theatre. Thank you to everyone who came to catch the show! On February 11, 2010 we had another table reading of the latest draft. Thank you Ted, Kate, Jerrod, Jonathan, Bob, Molly, Margaret and Jess for all of your feedback. On March 30, 2009 we held an informal table reading. Thank you Ted, Kate, Jonathan, Katie, Todd, Amanita, John and Molly for all of your help! Future It is unlikely that the Altoona Dada Society will ever remount this production. However look out for a revised version of the show, now called Vexations: Being the Unusual Life of Erik Satie. further info Photographs Altoona Program FringeNYC Program FringeNYC Preview Dadaist Poem Press Release Ready Made Backstage Review Wall Street Journal Jennifer at The Soundtrack Series Kevin remembers when...http://www.fringenyc.org/http://www.fringenyc.org/VG_Photos.htmlVelvet_Gentleman_files/altoona%20program.pdfVelvet_Gentleman_files/fringe%20program.pdfVelvet_Gentleman_files/FringeNYC%202010%20Previews%20%20TH...pdfVelvet_Gentleman_files/Dadaist%20Poem.pdfVelvet_Gentleman_files/VG%20Press%20Release.pdfVelvet_Gentleman_files/Ready%20Made.pdfVelvet_Gentleman_files/VG%20Backstage%20Review.pdfVelvet_Gentleman_files/All%20Is%20Fringe%20in%20Love%20and%20War%20-%20WSJ.com.pdfhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lkUZaICvOQ&index=7&list=FL_ZPhtstyRbTtgTFeW_vSQwhttp://playlabnyc.blogspot.com/search/label/Velvet%20Gentlemanshapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1shapeimage_1_link_2shapeimage_1_link_3shapeimage_1_link_4shapeimage_1_link_5shapeimage_1_link_6shapeimage_1_link_7shapeimage_1_link_8shapeimage_1_link_9shapeimage_1_link_10shapeimage_1_link_11shapeimage_1_link_12
 
The Altoona Dada Society makes its New York debut by presenting the unusual life of composer Erik Satie in an extravaganza the Blair County Little Nickel Weekly has called “...a description-defying, decidedly absurdist freefall.” credits Featuring: Lisa Altomare*, Johnson Chong*, John-Patrick Driscoll*, Molly Garber*, and Robert Leeds* Written by: Jon Steinhagen Directed by: Kevin P. Hale Stage Managed by: Nicole Smith Set and Costumes Designed by: Jess Hooks Sound Designed by: Trevor Dallier Lights Designed by: Jennifer Linn Wilcox Photographs for THE VELVET GENTLEMAN by: Kate Erin Gibson, 2010 *These actors appeared courtesy of Actors’ Equity Association critic & audience comments “Kevin P. Hale and his acting ensemble are up to the difficult task of distinguishing the play’s two worlds. Of particular note are Lisa Altomare’s depiction of a wise cat and John-Patrick Driscoll’s portrayal of Satie’s piano. And Steinhagen’s recordings of Satie’s piano music add a welcome element of beauty and otherworldliness.” Clifford Lee Johnson III Backstage.com “Bizarre” Pia Catton Wall Street Journal “A great idea” Off-Off Blogway via Twitter “I saw Playlab NYC's show at the Fringe last night and it was SO WONDERFUL. Fantastic acting, great costumes and so meticulously messy - it was three levels of meta. A play about a group of Dada-ists putting on a play, produced by people who get the joke. Fantastic.” Sean via Facebookshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2
