What the hell is the Parlor on Quaker Avenue?
While we’re working towards our permanent, epic, awesome home, we rented administrative spaces at this Victorian house from the 1890s in Cornwall, NY. And we rented too much space.
And then I got a really dumb, ludicrous, insane idea that I love too much to shake. What if we took our extra room and turned it into a performance space? And what if we did small-scale events there? And provided quality food and bitchin’ drinks? And didn’t charge people, but only asked them to pay what they wanted? And that’s how the Parlor at Quaker Avenue was born.
This is no way to run a nonprofit theater.
But this is what happens when I get bored and antsy. So we’re doing it. Almost all of our events over the next two months will be staged readings of established plays. But not our first event on November 13 - Verse in Color.
On Saturday November 13 we will feature the world-class muralist Eugene Stetz starting with a blank 5x4 canvas and freestyle painting to the words of our veteran poets. Poets that readers of Savage Wonder will be familiar with - The Savage Gentleman, s.p. burke, pogbaitpoetry, Mason Rodrigue, Dex, David Campisano, Stardust and Gunsmoke, Isaac Mars, War Torn Poetry and more. By the end of the night, Stetz will have painted a brand new, inspired canvas. And you’ll watch it happen.
If you get tickets.
See, there’s only about 16 seats. (Dumb idea, remember?) They ARE free, but you have to get them by clicking here. We’re giving you, our Savage Wonder subscribers, first shot at the tickets, but once you get this email, we’re announcing it to everyone else. So hurry.
Can’t wait to see you.
And now back to your regularly scheduled doses of creative writing…
