the Kraine Theater (85 E. 4th Street)

Concerning the Theater Group Known as Horse Trade;
Or,
Bet you never knew.

In 1998, these temporarily insane guys called Russell Dobular and Erez Ziv decided to quit their day jobs as hansom cab drivers and settle in a more stable line of work: producing theater. They met Kimo DeSean and set up shop first at the auspicious 85 E.4th Street, inhabiting The Kraine Theater and, The Red Room ol’ Ukrainian communist haunts, and one short year later set up shop at 94 St.Marks Place, inhabiting UNDER St. Marks, an ol’ experimental theater in a basement. They did not do this solely for their own fun and profit; they did it for others’. Their momentary lapse of judgment continues to support and let loose hundreds of theater freaks onto the independent theater scene.

Horse TRADE’s raison d’etre from the beginning has been to provide low-cost rehearsal and performance venues, overseen by friendly and knowledgeable people. An exponent of their theatrical altruism is their Resident Program, which provides rehearsal and performance space, and administrative and marketing support to Off-Off-Broadway Companies, based on their diverse needs.

By sheer kismet, a hip theater lady from EXIT Theatre in San Francisco by the name of Christina Augello walked into 85 East 4th a couple of years ago, bearing gifts of Dada and festivals. She convinced us to start this thing called FRIGID, and got us kinda hooked. So now we have this festival, which is part of the CAFF circuit actually the FIRST stop on it. The first year there were 30 no 29 shows because the Department of Homeland Security didn’t allow the South Africans to bring their propaganda thinly disguised as Chaucerian puppetry and we give all the box office proceeds to the artists and we let them do whatever they want within reason. There’s another one coming up soon.

Ten years later, there are still lots of residents, a bunch of guest artists, a new festival, beer at UNDER St. Marks (finally!), and Kimo and Russell have moved on. Now joined by Morgan Lindsey Tachco and Justin Sturges, Erez proudly carries the torch, as the voices change but the heart remains the same…or so we hope.

TO THE DEATH OF MY OWN FAMILY, by David L. Meth, is coming back to the city after a two week tour through four cities in India: Chennai, Bangalore, Pondicherry and Mumbai, where we had to turn away theater-goers and nearly had a riot. So we decided to do an unplanned, second performance. It was standing-room-only and standing ovations throughout the tour. Therefore, I would like to invite all to visit my web site where you can take a tour, see a slide show, and read comments from the Indian press, including Time Out Mumbai:

http://web.mac.com/dlm67

Please join us to see Farah Bala's mesmerizing performance in a one-woman show with 15 characters in an intensely dramatic non-linear drama directed by Drama Guild Member Peter Ratray, veteran of Broadway, Off-Broadway, TV and film.

TO THE DEATH OF MY OWN FAMILY is the story of an Afghan-American woman who returns to Afghanistan to help her father escape and witnesses the slaughter of her entire family. She then has to justify her journey and reclaim her citizenship during an interrogation when she returns to the United States.
