Late Night Ritalin
ABOVE KLEPTOMANIA
Wednesdays at 8 pm
Show World
info purloined verbatim from the Toxic Pop newsletter
The FBI had begun utilizing their Total Awareness Database. In it, they profile people according to spending patterns and habits. As this data has been analyzed, one fact has been becoming clear. Not one of the Al Qieda elite or the Iraqi deck of most wanted have been to see Late Night Ritalin and Karl with special guests Wednesday evenings at 8:00 in the Above Kleptomania theatre in ShowWorld.
If this causes you to worry that jack booted thugs may kick down your door and drag you away for "interrogation" at any minute, it is for good reason. Your inadvertent actions have placed you in 100% compliance with the terror network. No need to despair though. You can remedy your situation when Late Night Ritalin performs tonight with Karl and special guests on the second floor of ShowWorld. Above Kleptomania will proudly report your attendance (or lack thereof) to the proper authorities. Stand up and let yourself be counted among the righteous!
Remember - nothing says comedy like a theatre above a peep show across the street from the bus station. $10

EAST VILLAGE SAFARIS
Native Guide: St. Reverend Jen
Sundays at 5
Starts at the Cube in Astor Place
It's downtown's only counter-cultural walking performance tour. Following the rash of closings of East Village and Lower East Side Theatres, several downtown artists have
taken matters into their own hands and created a new walking
"performance-tour" of their neighborhood. East Village Safaris - a
unique blend of guided tour, shopping excursion and interactive
theatrical experience is designed to provide the urban adventurer
with a historically accurate account of The East Village and its vital
role as the capital of the world's Bohemian counterculture.
The founders Robert Prichard, Sara Delphine, Reverend Jen, Tom Tenney
and William Lee - describe their tour as a multi-site specific
theatrical experience. The streets and a little red wagon carrying a
boom box provide the stage. The guides are local performance artists.
Curtains do not drop between acts during the performance tours, instead
the wagon leads the audience to the next scene, meeting interesting
characters who further the story along the way.
Each tour ends with the tourist being left off at one of the remaining
local theatrical venues, just in time to catch a show.
Intermission features the opportunity for patrons to shop and dine at
local businesses. The guides will steer people to the choicest dining
locals, the hippest bars and the coolest places to shop. EVS tourists
will see first hand how a vibrant and vital community that continues to
nurture artists, musicians, poets, writers, film makers, activists,
radicals and philosophers struggles to preserve it's counter cultural
ideals and Bohemian identity.
RESERVATIONS REQUIRED!! Those interested in taking part should meet at the Cube in Astor Place. $10 per person. Dogs free. Elephants 2˘/pound.
