Theater of Living Painting Presents Its Premiere Multi-Media Off-Broadway Play, 'Michael - A Love Story'

Posted on: Thursday, 17 April 2008, 00:00 CDT

NEW YORK, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 24th, 2008, Theatre of Living Painting will begin showcasing its new multi-media performance, "Michael -- A Love Story." Using film, photography, theatre, fine arts, original music, dance, and even aerial arts, this innovative show promises to offer something fresh and new to the Off-Broadway scene. The show, which is being held at The Flamboyant Theatre and Gallery in the Lower East Side, will run through May 4th, 2008.

"Michael -- A Love Story" is a product of Mona Depena's imagination that was able to come to fruition through the collaborative efforts of an immensely talented group of artists. Depena, as the playwright and star of the show, knew early on that she would have to incorporate a number of different sensory experiences, from the visual images to the poignant music, down to the velvet seat coverings in the audience. With regards to what she's hoping to achieve with the show, Depena says, "I want people to leave feeling inspired."

Depena's incredibly talented team consists of some of the art world's finest, including Julie Buck, an experimental filmmaker, John Plenge, a noted composer and musician, Dianna Warren, a famed Broadway dancer, and Bill Prouty, a classically trained dancer and choreographer.

The almost-ethereal nature of the show is set to evocatively express the dichotomy of life and death through its featured mediums, as well as through transitions in the color palette of the performance. The fantastical nature of "Michael -- A Love Story" is multi-faceted and sets itself apart from traditional shows in a number of ways: the whimsy, the color composition, the costumes, the emotion.

Tickets can be purchased for $10 via http://www.theatremania.com/, fellow members of the art community can purchase tickets at 50% off. The intimate seating is on a first come, first serve basis, and with the performance beginning in the gallery, it is advised that patrons arrive at least 30 minutes before show time.

"Michael -- A Love Story" will be showing Wednesday -- Saturday at 8pm, with a matinee show at 3pm on Sunday for the duration of the show.
