TRaC is back.
As if you didn’t know — the summer Teen Reviewers and Critics (TRaC) program is NOW recruiting for our July/August!
Think about it. FREE access to NYC art, music, theater and dance, eleven new friends from all backgrounds and boroughs, lively debate, writing, flip-flops, subway adventures, August sunshine, pizza, mini frisbees….
Need we say more??
Sign up now for one or more of 5 special two-day workshops on a first-come, first-served basis. Anyone in high school is eligible. Participants will attend a Thursday night performance, write a review, and meet up the following Tuesday for a writing workshop from 4:30pm – 7:30pm in the ArtsConnection/High 5 building in Manhattan (8th Ave and 36th Street).
Just as in our Fall and Spring TRaC programs, Summer TRaC workshops will include debate and discussion about the show, writing activities, an opportunity to publish your work and whatever else participants bring to it! (If you’ve ever wondered what the 8-week TRaC programs in the fall and spring were like, this is a great way to get a snapshot of the experience.) Each session will be taught by one of the veteran TRaC Instructors, all of whom are working artists and critics.

That’s why, perhaps, the audience of Yisrael Campbell’s (formerly known as Christopher) one man comedy show, Circumcise Me, seems to be at least half tourists, hailing from places as far flung as Russia, Israel, and Alaska. But regardless of where they come from, they are all invariably Jewish.
This creates a warm tribal feeling in the tiny black box theater; there’s plenty of pre-show schmoozing, food-sharing, and offers of travel advice from the locals to the visitors. By the time the show starts, it feels a bit like a hipster Jew convention. [click to continue…]

Fans of magic and comedy will rejoice at The Quantum Eye’s hefty offering of outstanding feats and light, quick-witted humor. Renowned mentalist and star of The Quantum Eye, Sam Eaton creates an atmosphere both mysterious and relaxed, shying away from the typical authoritative magician’s image and appealing to the audience as a charming intellectual. The tricks featured in the show range from tried-and-true card tricks to downright innovative acts involving newspapers, books, minty breath strips, and other inconspicuous items.
