[Richard Maxwell is] "One of the most innovative and essential artists to emerge from American experimental theater in the past decade." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"Richard Maxwell is a master of surprise." - Jason Zinoman Time Out New York

"What is novel -- and perhaps provocative -- is the notion that theater can take place without the direct participation of live people. Artists have been incorporating video and taped performance into theatrical works for many years, in many different ways, but there is usually some live component. Here the only one is the audience. "Ads" resembles a video installation in a modern-art museum more than a traditional stage piece, but it suggests in its quiet way that you can create humane, affecting works of theater without the literal presence of human beings."
- Charles Isherwood, The New York Times

Ads marks a new departure in the work of celebrated downtown auteur Richard Maxwell. In collaboration with photographer/cinematographer Michael Schmelling and Bozkurt Karasu (The Wooster Group), Maxwell asks whether theatre is possible without a human presence. Can verisimilitude be enhanced by technology? How can we address these questions in a live performance?

Whether in the realm of theater, music, or video, New York City Players (founded 1999) rigorously strip away the habitual identities that may encumber a work, thereby allowing pursuit of the power of language, of story, of image, and of what happens when people gather in a room. Individualism is celebrated by collaborating with performers and designers from all backgrounds and levels of experience.

The Cast of ADS includes:
Ramin Bahrani, Lakpa Bhutia, Jerimee Bloemeke, Sophia Chai, Janet Coleman, Keith Connolly, Ginger Corker, Richard Dundy, Bob Feldman, Rosie Goldensohn, Anita Hollander, Rosalie Ann Kaplan, Lou Kuhlmann, Michelle A.

An American playwright and an Irish director team up for an adaptation of nineteenth-century Irish playwright Dion Boucicault's notorious nineteenth-century melodrama about Americans. (And slavery.) A bombastic, super-theatrical, full-scale investigation of the sweetest of intersections--theatre and identity politics--this play with real actors and real sets and real costumes seeks to understand why New York audiences can't seem to get enough of plays about Irish folks and black people and racism and, um, America?

Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (Playwright) is a former playwriting fellow at the New York Theatre Workshop, an alum of the Soho Rep Writer/Director Lab and the Public Theater's Emerging Writing Group, and a member of the ArsNova Playgroup. He is the recipient of the 2009 Princess Grace Award for Playwriting and the 2009 Dorothy Strelsin Playwriting Fellowship. His full-length plays include Appropriate, The Change, and Neighbors, which will be presented in Feb 2010 as apart of the Public Theater's PublicLab.

Gavin Quinn (Director) is joint artistic director of Pan Pan which he co- founded in 1991 with Aedin Cosgrove. Gavin is also joint Artistic Director with Aedin Cosgrove of The Pan Pan International Theatre Symposium, founded in 1997. (Nominated Special Jury Award, 2001 Irish Times Theatre Awards) Gavin is a grant recipient of the New York Foundation for Contemporary Arts. Gavin is a Board member of the Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival, The Irish Theatre Institute, Irish Modern Dance Theatre and the National Association of Youth Drama.

The audience is ushered into the space by LEWIS FOREVER members in small groupings. The space is arranged like a large conference room with tables creating a ring around an empty center space. There are individual place settings that are the tools of a hyper-stylized arts and crafts session. Using the structure of a workshop as the overreaching fiction, Dance-artist Isabel Lewis in collaboration with LEWIS FOREVER will create a performance situation that moves from the two dimensional and static to the three dimensional and ephemeral. The performance begins with the small scale and individual and works towards the communal and infinite. Along the way LEWIS FOREVER deliver instruction, spoken vignettes, and moments of song and dance that both admire and critique the art world on a journey ultimately to love and self-actualization.

In bermuda Adrienne Truscott, Neal Medlyn, and Carmine Covelli will occupy the interior and exterior of the downstairs theater, playground, and street at PS122, developing movement and reasons to move, for themselves and the audience, in spaces that feel, in their liminality, endless in their possibilities and impossible to define. The piece will also investigate why a roomful of husbands watch football in secret storage rooms, surrounded by toasters; what it feels like to live in a camper on the street in NYC; and how to get day laborers to replace 3 American dancers. What is edited out of the dance will be stored at a Brooklyn storage facility for the same month, for the low-price of $79.95.

WINNER OF THE 2009 ETHYL EICHELBERGER AWARD

Orifice Descending is loosely based on The Balcony by Jean Genet. The performance consists of a series of manufactured images, video projections, tableaux, movement and burlesque routines whose purpose is to illustrate the arbitrary nature of gender rules and how, once unmoored from their fixed positions they can liberate us from our narrow and stereotypical conceptions of male and female roles.

In the Vaginal Davis cosmos there is no such thing as masculine or feminine, it's all commercial hype. Ms. Davis, as the grand doyeanne of outsider art, will prove this as she turns PS122 into a living, breathing installation piece with assistance from prolific New York based artist Jonathan Berger who will act as production, set + costume designer, as well as Downtown treasure Jennifer Miller, the bearded lady, and a bevy of art damaged youth hand picked from some of Manhattan's most enchanted olde money families.

In Orifice Ms. Davis will function as Madame/Matriarch of a male brothel or "boydello" where the audience will interactively explore the notion of gender as a continuum and not a binary model. Vaginal Davis is an originator of the homo-core punk movement and a gender-queer art-music icon. Her concept bands -- including Pedro Muriel and Esther, Cholita! The Female Menudo, black fag, and the Afro Sisters -- have left an indelible mark on the development of underground music. Like Ron Athey, Ms Davis made her name in LA's club performance scene, and has earned herself a similar notoriety as a cultural antagonist and erotic provocateur.

The Ethyl Eichelberger Award was created by Performance Space 122 and made possible with generous support from The Gesso Foundation in honor of seminal performer, landmark and legend Ethyl Eichelberger. The award is given to an artist or group that exemplifies Ethyl's larger-than-life style and generosity of spirit; who embodies Ethyl's multi-talented artistic virtuosity, bridging worlds and vitalizing those around them. http://www.vaginaldavis.com/

"Each performance is an electrifying frenzy of information as Murrin scrambles through a maze of carefully positioned props and costumes. . . . His rapid-fire delivery riddles the audience with a barrage of entertaining social commentary so mesmerizing and playful that the unsuspecting hordes may not even realize the full impact of his message." - Paper (G. Ray & Carlo McCormick)

Fairy godfather of downtown performance Tom Murrin (aka Alien Comic) takes us on a talking tour of his life - and of his travels though avant garde theatre in the 60s, 70s, and early 80s! Murrin has been there from the beginning and lived to tell the tale. Speaking with wild-eyed excitement, Murring hits you with history, hilarity, and his extraordinary generosity of spirit and innocence. It must be seen and heard to be believed.

Written & performed by Tom Murrin. Directed by Lucy Sexton. Produced by Lori E. Seid. Lighting Design by Melissa J. Mendez.

WINNER OF THE 2009 SPALDING GRAY AWARD

"[Radiohole] turns out effervescent, anarchic work... cultivates an eccentric acting style and makes familiar text creepily bizarre." -Time Out

Known for its radical and reckless theatricality, avant-garde New York troupe Radiohole's newest work is a star-spangled American meta-melodrama inspired by film director Douglas Sirk's 1950s potboilers and Milton's epic Paradise Lost. Our heroine is an all- American "Eve" who must save her home from an evil-doer while struggling to find fulfillment in a lasting relationship with a supposedly good man who looks like god. Radiohole's newest synthesis of cultural flotsam is sure to be bawdy, silly, possibly transcendent, and a touch disturbed.

The Spalding Gray Award supports gifted writer/performers who fully realize both aspects of Spalding's legacy, who are fearless innovators of theatrical form, who reach into daily experience and create resonant, transcendent work that makes us all bigger, wider, wiser and, somehow, more than we were when we entered the theater. The award is a special commission created in Spalding Gray's honor by Performance Space 122 in New York , UCLA Live, University of California, Los Angeles' public performing arts program,The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.
