Thank You…

…to everyone who came out for To Be Loved (Version 2) at the 11th Annual New York International Fringe Festival!

The stars truly lined up for this production: We had a dedicated and fabulous company, amazing support from FringeNYC volunteers and staff (special thanks to Elena Holy and Alexa Shaughnessy), a deluge of press (thanks to Ron Lasko at Spin Cycle), and a show we were truly proud of.

Of course, we couldn’t have done it without you! To Be Loved at FringeNYC played to some of our strongest houses ever. Thank you for lending us your eyes and ears for two hours!

If you missed To Be Loved at FringeNYC or simply want to relive the memories, we have moved the production info, photos, and a link to the first episode of ElixirCast featuring readings of scenes from the play to our ARCHIVE. Feel free to rummage and explore: That’s what our website is all about!

As always, check back frequently (or subscribe to our RSS feed, or join our mailing list) for all Elixir-related updates as well as announcements about what’s coming next!

Here’s hoping the next show will be every bit as special as this one.

Sincerely,

Jody, Alex & Faye

‘To Be Loved’ in The Onion

Leave it to the folks at The Onion to give To Be Loved the funniest write-up we’ve come across. From their August 23 issue:

We know what you’re thinking: not another kabuki-inspired story about homosexuality, a monk, and a ghost! But To Be Loved manages to squeeze some originality into the old formula.

God bless The Onion!

Last Chance to See “One of the Most Talked-About Entries” of FringeNYC 2007

Join us at The Lafayette Street Theatre (Fringe Venue #16, 45 Bleecker Street at Lafayette) this Thursday, August 23 at 9:15pm or Friday, August 24 at 9:00pm for a last chance to see “one of the most talked about entries in the [Fringe] festival this year” (Ginia Bellafante, The New York Times).

It’s always sad to say goodbye, but we plan to go out in style by giving two amazing final performances. Plus, we’re finally in our nighttime element!

Picture it: The sun is down, the streets of the West Village are beginning to cool off, you and your friend(s) are waiting in line and sniffing the occasional leftovers of a busy day in the sweetening nighttime air. You enter the theatre, descend a flight of stairs, and are suddenly transported to a different world. The beauty of theatre is travel, and even before the houselights go down, you have arrived.

Tickets for the final two performances are a lean $15 and can be purchased on-line via TicketWeb, by phone at 212-279-4488, or 15 minutes before showtime at the door.

To Be Loved at FringeNYC has been a fabulous success. Help us celebrate the final bon voyage.

Best,

Jody Person, Alex DeFazio & Faye Rosenbaum
