I love Penny Arcade and her passionate commitment to using theater, stand up and music to being a reality check to the world she and we live in. I saw this show in its infancy about a year ago when she and Steve Zehentner were developing it ..since then she has traveled the world (literally) perfecting it performance by performance piling up nrave reviews in tough towns like London. Penny never stuck in repetition Penny always adds to the core of the piece what is happening in the world today. St Ann's gives you and me an opportunity to see a full production complete with the professionalism that professional production craft can being and takes Penny out of the secret places to most of you that I am use use to seeing her in. (and you too should discover Dixon Place, La MaMa, Pangea, Joe's Pub , Theater for the New City etc too if you have not ,,,they are all percolating! ) I ask you to support this artist .. if you have seen her before than sit back and enjoy the production values of St Ann' .. and if this is your first time ... go with a friend .. trust me you will want to talk over what just hit you as you experience this force of nature PENNY ARCADE...... or if you prefer the way fellow artist Tammy Faye describes Penny :Penny Arcade is the artist we need more than ever right now. Her work galvanizes, inspires and reflects our world into prisms of luminous and vivid perception. See her. She is the epitome of John Keats' "Beauty is truth, and truth beauty." She is the revelation and the revolution.
