Styx Artwork On Display In NYC Art Exhibition

I am pleased to announce two things - fine artist Beth A. Gilbert is collaborating with me on a series of photo-sculptures that will be featured in the film Styx. These artworks chart Styx’s heroine, Peggy, as she comes to terms with Christy’s death and adopts Christy’s persona as artist.

Not only this, but the first in Gilbert’s series has been accepted in the Under the Magnifying Glass art exhibition in Dumbo, Brooklyn. Come join us and celebrate its unveiling on July 11!

Pentecost by David Edgar

"What if the Renaissance began earlier and elsewhere? That audacious question kindles David Edgar’s play “Pentecost,” written in 1994... No less resonant now than when it had its premiere, the drama is a testament to Mr. Edgar’s literary skill and a rebuke to the political climate in Eastern Europe and elsewhere." - NY TIMES
