Caught the new double header from Samuel D Hunter this evening at Rattlestick and let me just say what a phenominal evening of theater, the staging, the performance's, and the design was so impactful, and for those who have been to that space, wait til you see what they have done with the place.

Grab tickets while you can, once the reviews hit I think its going to be a hot ticket as only 51 seats are available per show.

I’m super interested in this! I see Rattlestick does an Under30 ticket program, but can’t find any more info on it or a promo code. Anyone have any luck with this?

Hey, LightsOut, can I ask a seating question? Is it GA? And do you still need to walk across the stage to get to  the restroom? I get claustrophobic and need to know where the exits are and hate feeling penned in (a constant problem, but I find my ways to deal with it). But any sense of how the space is set up compared to its usual format would be super awesome. I really want to see this, but I've been too nervous to grab tickets.

Would love to see this! Saw CLARKSTON at Dallas Theatre Center with Taylor Trensch a few years ago and thought it was phenomenal. Had no clue there was another show that accompanied it!

I'm going Sunday and I'm pretty excited. I'm a big fan of Arnie Burton and Noah Robbins.

the first part is assigned, the second part is choice your own seat, without giving it away the space is WIDE open now, but yes the bathroom is still in that awkward corner but dont worry about the tight spaces

Thank you, thank you, thank you, LightsOut. That helps calm my nerves enough to grab tickets. And I do so love Hunter’s work!

I could not agree more! I saw these Saturday evening and was blown away. Arnie is amazing in Lewiston and Edmund makes you fall in love with him in Clarkston. Well crafted and staged!

I want to see this,  it would be going alone. Because dinner is served between shows- would it be awkward to attend alone? How long is “meal time”? And, is it ok not to eat?

I don’t think it would be awkward to eat alone at all. The tables are set up in a random way - and there were several solos there when i saw it.

I was there yesterday and overall really enjoyed both plays and the experience. The acting was just absolutely phenomenal from all six actors, however Edmund Donovan was the real standout (I was completely unfamiliar with him before this.) If you get the opportunity to see this, definitely go.

I've heard that attendees aren't allowed to leave at all during the communal meal/dinner break. Can anyone explain?

[LightsOut90]

Posted: 10/22/18 at 10:48am

not sure how accurate that is, the night I went people went out and came back in

You can leave whenever you want.  They do not have armed guards stationed at the exits.

Thanks for the sarcasm. A post on the other board (linked) specifically referred to attendees not being allowed to leave the theater. It's not an unreasonable question.

2 questions-

Are these two separate pieces? Or are they related in some way? 

Are the barstool horribly uncomfortable? 

[LightsOut90]

Posted: 10/23/18 at 2:47am

they are thematically linked and speak to each other, to say more then that would ruin the fun, i sat on  the barstools, they have backs, for 85 minutes they are fine.

No Long is the break between plays?

How long is the break between plays?

How long are the plays AND dinner?  How long are you at the theater? The Sunday show starts at 3 PM. I’m wondering if I could catch a 7 PM show?

"The evening will run about 3.5 hours in total."

Saw these shows last night. Don’t miss these. Incredible, still thinking about these this morning. Amazing performances.

what do you think the future of these plays are? Larger NYC house? Or Regional theater? Just curious...
