    yesterday’s Salon, while intimate in attendance, exceeded all of our expectations in terms of the dialogue it created.  amazing to sit and talk to intelligent young artists and see what comes out.  maybe all hope for our future isn’t lost.

    many thanks to Drew for hosting, to Michael for letting us into this early part of his creative process, and to our attendees - and a special shout out to Panicked Productions Managing Director Glenn De Kler for taking time out of his busy R&G rehearsal schedule to drop by.  We’re looking forward to a long company-friendship.

    ANNOUNCING - SALON #2

    Michael Norton has written a play.  Or at least he’s started on it.

    This is a play about where we are in the world today.  It is a 9/11 Memorial Play - but it also isn’t a 9/11 Memorial Play.  It is a play about having been a little kid ten years ago - and what those ten years have meant to grow up with.  We have lived through history and now kids younger than us are learning about what we’ve been a part of.  

    This is a play about community.  About the world we live in today and the people we share it with.  

    It is a brilliant play by a fresh young voice in the theater world.  We’re damn proud to have commissioned this play and we’re excited to present a sneak-peak of sorts with The Think Tank Salon.  

    JUNE 18 - 3pm - 208 E. 13th St

    A reading and workshop discussion of Michael Norton’s new play.  Featuring Michael Norton, Andrew Broussard, and you.  To RSVP, email thinktanktheater@gmail.com or check out the event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=212478675459466&view=wall
