Galapagos Art Space launches its new theater
series, "Evolve," on Jan. 6 with Clay McLeod Chapman’s
"Bar Flies." Curated by Artistic Director Travis Chamberlain,
the series will feature a different show each month.
Chapman’s "Bar Flies" stars the playwright – plus actors
Karl Allen, Hanna Cheek, Dave Gueriera and Sean Twomey – settled
amongst the patrons in Galapagos’s back room. The five stories
related by the actors will mix with music from the band.
Chapman (pictured) is perhaps best known as the creator of the
"Pumpkin Pie Show," which has been playing in New York
and around the world for the past eight years. He is also the
author of "Miss Corpus" (Hyperion).
Future "Evolve" series pieces will include new works
from Rachel Shukert (February); Kyle Jarrow with performance
artists Desiree Burch, Michael Cyril Creighton and Brian Mullin
(April); and monologist Mike Daisey (May).
"Bar Flies" performances are Jan. 6, 13 and 27 at 8
pm. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door. Galapagos is
located at 70 North Sixth St. at Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg.
