"TINYRHINO TUESDAYS" JOINS THE

UGLY RHINO ORIGINALS LINE-UP

Two Power Hour Evenings of New Short Plays

July 12 & 19 at The Brooklyn Lyceum

NEW YORK, NY (May, 2011)

"TinyRhino Tuesdays" is our take on the ten-minute play festival. We will present a series of six staged readings of ten-minute plays commissioned  specifically for UglyRhino. Every audience member will be given a list of five dramatic elements that have been included in each of the six pieces. These elements are cues to drink. That's right. We've created a theatrical drinking game. Leave the mindless boozing to the frat boys. We are artists, and sadists by definition; these plays will venture down a darker path than your average drinking game.

Playwrights include Kevin Christopher Snipes, Ross Harris, T. Michelle Murphy, Tariq Hammami, Evan Twohy, and Nick Gandiello.

TinyRhino is every Tuesday during UglyRhino Originals. Drink specials will be available, and a DJ warehouse party will commence following the plays.

UglyRhino Originals is thrilled to have added TinyRhino to its jam-packed micro-season of concerts, warehouse dance parties, and two new full-length plays. Grief by David Kantounas was workshopped in London as part of the Old Vic Coming Up Festival, and we're producing its New York City premiere. In addition, UglyRhino has commissioned playwright Kyle Warren to create an original world premiere entitled #nyc exclusively for UglyRhino after featuring his work in our previous micro-season.

Performance Dates: July 6^th  - July 24^th

TinyRhino Power Hour: July 12^th & 19^th

Tickets: $10 online and at the door

The Brooklyn Lyceum is a producing arts venue and cultural center on the edge of Gowanus. Originally opened in 1910 as an indoor bathing facility, it now plays host to a range of theatre, music, dance, markets and community activities. With a new Artistic Director leading the way, the Lyceum is programming an ambitious season throughout the year. This co-production of UglyRhino Originals is part of a full theatrical line-up including Circle Theater of New York's new interpretation of Woyzeck, Brave New World Repertory's production of The American Clock, Three Sisters from MBCT, and a visual dreamscape of The Little Prince.
