a fundraiser for the beat poetry musical SUBWAY TRAIN
"Subway Train puts a stethoscope to the pulse of the bustling masses and uncovers emotional landscapes not readily available in the everyday." – getunderground.com
In preparation for the 2004 New York International Fringe Festival, the Liilaa Company (pronounced lee-lah) presents “An Evening in the Liilaa,” a fundraiser for SUBWAY TRAIN – A Beat Poetry Musical. Taking place on June 21st at New York’s hottest new venue, Crash Mansion located at 199 Bowery at Spring Street, the evening will feature Liilaa Records artists the Katy Pfaffl Band and Swim, plus live performances from SUBWAY TRAIN. There will be two different programs at 8pm and 11pm featuring both bands and the SUBWAY TRAIN cast. There will also be a DJ and dancing throughout the night. General admission for the whole evening is $20, with VIP tickets for reserved seating and hors d’oeuvre reception at BLVD with the Liilaa Company for $60. Advance tickets at TicketWeb.com 866-468-7619.
The Liilaa Company was founded by Joshua Kobak, Katy Pfaffl, and Mickey Fisher and produced their first show "The Colors Of Love" in 1997 at the New York International Fringe Festival. Independently, Joshua Kobak has appeared in RENT on tour and on Broadway in addition to performing with his band Swim and releasing his album “Above and Beneath.” Katy Pfaffl, a Manhattan based voice teacher/coach, recently released "As She Stands" the acoustic soul-folk follow-up to her 2001 self-titled debut album and performs regularly at the Living Room in the East Village. Mickey Fisher of Leo's Pride Entertainment wrote, directed, and appeared in the forthcoming independent feature film "The King Of Iron Town." The Liilaa Company’s new musical, SUBWAY TRAIN, has been in development over the past 6 years and was previously presented as a work-in-progress piece in 1998 at The Duplex Cabaret, Show World Center in 1999 and 2003, and 2003 and 2004 presentations at the Bowery Poetry Club.
Sharing the stage with Kobak, Pfaffl and Fisher on June 21st will be Yassmin Alers (RENT, The Capeman, The Rocky Horror Show) and NYC musicians, Sean Dixon, Sebastian Guerrero, Justin Wallace, Dan Johnson, Danton Boller of the Jazz Mandolin Project, and Matt Caplan who can currently be seen on Broadway in RENT as the filmmaker Mark Cohen.
You may have had an evening in celebration, reflection, or ecstasy, but you’ve never had “An Evening in the Liilaa.”
