stageFARM $SHAKEDOWN w/KiDz in the Hall, Blitz & The Back CC's September 20, 2008

Boozy bash cum fundraiser for the stageFARM at The Bell House, Brooklyn's most amazing new venue. The stageFarm is a non-profit off-broadway theater company dedicated to commissioning / producing relevant new plays for a new audience.
For our 3rd annual $HAKEDOWN we assembled a amazing music lineup. This is your one and only chance to see Kidz in the Hall, Blitz the Ambassador and The Back CC's all play on one incredible stage.

What we are really up to is prepping for our forthcoming Spin Series, beginning Oct. 3.

Spin will feature a series of commissioned plays penned by Adam Rapp, Gina Gionfriddo, Judith Thompson, Elizabeth Meriwether and Mark Schultz. Each work revolves around the specific theme of "spin."

"As with last year's 'Vengeance,' we're interested in using five great playwrights as a barometer for what's happening now. 'Spin' is this year's zeitgeist, it's the victory of style over substance. Presentation increasingly obscures content in American discourse and decision-making. The media, industry, politics, the establishment and the arts have conspired to bring us not their constituent parts, but a presentation of what they would like us to think they are. 'Spin' is the icing under which the cake of our country now lumbers. Everyone's running around spun out, high on icing," stageFARM artistic director Alex Kilgore said in a statement.
