JANUARY 17 – FEBRUARY 2 @ PRIVATE UNION SQUARE LOFT

People used to send telegrams. They'd end every sentence in "STOP."

Drawing from actual emails, chat transcripts, and text messages, We Were Nothing! is an intimate site-specific theater experience about two childhood friends staying connected and losing touch. 

The piece was written by playwright Will Arbery in collaboration with Shelley Fort, Elly Smokler, Emilie Soffe, and Lisa Szolovits. The production, which will be directed by Lisa Szolovits, will star Elly Smokler (Stop the Virgens at St. Ann's Warehouse; member of The Bats) and Emilie Soffe (In the Blood at the Kennedy Center). The creative team will include Lighting Design by Isabella Byrd (Assoc. on 13P/Sarah Ruhl's Melancholy Play) and Costume Design by Clara Fath

We Were Nothing! will play a three-week engagement January 17 - February 2, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 5pm. The show will be performed inside a private residence near Union Square. Exact address and directions will be released only to ticket holders. Tickets ($20) are available online at www.artful.ly/store/events/2099.
