What A Great Night!!!

The latest edition of Alternating Current was a huge success with a capacity crowd and knock-your-socks-off talent. Thanks to everyone who was there to strut and thanks to everyone who came out to watch.
Next time there will be enough beer. I promise. But the crowd was a resourceful crowd and after the house ran dry it warmed my heart to see six's of Modelo, Presidente and PBR appear like fishes and loaves. That's my kind of audience.

Keep an eye on the folks who presented, they're all awesome and have work in the making.

Alternating Current: The Update

The main event is only a few days away so get yourselves to the dry cleaners before it's too late and get ready for Church of the In-Immaculate Conception!
We've just added Joseph Keckler to the list of enormously talented performers and if you were at the last party you know that he is definitely worth a trip to Williamsburg.
And here's a little more info about what's happening.

I Am Trying To Hear Myself
Written and Choreographed by Jack Ferver
Performed by Reid Bartelme, Paul Lane, and Jack Ferver
To be placed on Jack Ferver's mailing list, send an e-mail to jferver@gmail.com with LIST as the subject.

THE GAY AGENDA writes and performs disjointed showstoppers and cracked love ballads. Nicholas Williams is the one at the piano and Micah Bucey is the one with the trumpet. To be added to their mailing list, please write to thatgayagendaband@gmail.com.

The Encyclopedia of Things as they Are
Excerpt ("Earth and the Cro-Magonon Poets") read by Andrew Gori.
Andrew is a singer, a songer, a scribbler, a shooter, a sharer and many more things very much and not at all important to disclose.


See you on Saturday!
Love,
The Unpaid Intern

What Is Alternating Current: The Event?

Alternating Current:

Alternating Current will be a semi-monthly salon/party/performance lounge in which content alternates between performance and party. The work will be current. Either new work, or work based on current events. There will be no specific guidelines regarding style, genre or media. The location will change with each new event and will take place in spaces that are not dedicated to either parties or performance. No Clubs, no Theaters. The event will be free. When the event takes place indoors alcohol will be offered at modest prices to help pay for the space and any other expenses. Performances will take place in the spaces between and surrounding the audience without an MC or formal introduction. Stuff just happens.

Alternating Current will exist for the following reasons:

1: To promote and support new and interesting work

2: To create new possibilities of collaboration for artists involved.

3: To bring audiences and artists together in unique ways to facilitate productive dialogue.
