Elements of Abstraction Elements of Abstraction presents audiences with a rich kaleidoscope of color, form, and texture that in conjunction breathes life into abstract artworks Whether employing shimmering brushstrokes or bold fields of color, nonrepresentational art, with its lack of familiar forms, allows the work speak to us on an especially elemental level Through their deeply personal forms of expression, these artists offer a stunning glimpse into contemporary abstract painting Featured Artists: Diana Arkhi, Alicia Falcone, Nina Ozbey, Jorgen Rosengaard Labyrinth of Color Literally reaching out into the abyss, Labyrinth of Color finds artists as they approach the deepest regions of our real and imagined space Radiant colors shine forth, as each artist travels into the unknown, bringing back surreal visions of our universe to share with audiences This selection of imaginative works is a fascinating glimpse into the otherworldly Featured Artists: Udeaku Chikezie, Kenji Inoue, John Nieckarz, Ronaldo Rodinsky

Persistence of Form Persistence of Form daringly explores the experience of our modern world through the eyes of the artist Beautifully crafted imagery abounds in this choice selection of paintings as the artists inject wit, fantasy, and sensitivity into their vision of humanity The works are raw and physical, daring to examine inwardly while holding an unadulterated mirror to the world to expose both the ills and the joys to be found Featured Artists: Margaret Girle, Enrique Monraz Ponce, Parizot, Karin Perez, Zakhar Sherman

Visitors will enjoy exploring and interpreting the messages so brilliantly expressed through the power of color Metamorphosis is a captivating journey into the hearts and minds of a talented grouping of artists with unique backgrounds and experiences The works explores the possibilities beyond our ordinary perception, keying into personal insights, metaphysical concepts, and timeless mysteries beyond each corner is a new way of perceiving the world that will electrify fans of contemporary art For art lovers who are seeking unbridled visionary painting, they need search no longer The Portal to Enigma collects three contemporary artists whose visionary works defy easy definition as they craft personal revelations with a powerful, expressive force

This phenomenal selection of paintings confronts the viewer with poetic visual puzzles and graceful statements about the human subconscious The versatility displayed in the works of The Persistence of Form underscores the idea that as long as people dream and imagine art will never cease to exist, inspire, and bring about contemplation in others These talented artists bring their thoughts and feelings to reality in a stunning variety of styles and forms that will touch audiences long after viewing the painting

King Lear

July 23, 2009 - August 02, 2009: King Lear is believed by many to be Shakespeare’s masterpiece Written as a political and social commentary on post-Elizabethan England, King Lear demonstrates what results when individuals let vanity and greed lead them to trespass the bounds of order and proportion, ignoring their natural responsibility to family, community and country

The chaotic consequences: leaders renounce duty; fathers disown children; children displace fathers; war, homicide, fratricide, suicide, and madness We join Lear and his counterpart, Gloucester, as they are stripped of position, power, family, and sanity – and in the process, through the unwavering devotion of Kent and the Fool, the filial loves of Edgar and Cordelia – discovering their humanity and what it means to forgive and be forgiven Lear becomes the antithesis of his former arrogant self; he achieves a life without “lendings” – the accumulated material possessions we cling to for meaning – or the need of them With an eye toward telling this poignant tale simply and keeping all “lendings” to a minimum, Producing Directors Sidney Fortner and Dominic Cuskern will direct a cast of 17, including: Kevin Blackwelder, John Blaylock*, Jonah Ramu Cohen, Andrew Danish, Adam Ewer, Andrew Firda*, Suzy Kimball, Mark A Kinch, Brandon Mears, Elliott Mayer*, Peter Oliver, Ross Pivel, Molly Pope, Jerrod Kazumi Popham, Jessica Rothenberg, and Montgomery Sutton* Set and Costume Designer: Sidney Fortner; Fight Choreographer: Robert Najarian; Stage Manager: Kristine Ayers

The Tragedy of King Lear opens Saturday evening, July 25 and runs through Sunday, August 2, 2009 with preview performances on July 23 and July 24 at 8pm, and July 25th at 2pm, and a special “pay-what-you-will” performance on Monday, July 27 at 7:30pm (12 performances only) Performances take place Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8pm, matinees are Saturday at 2pm and Sunday at 3pm

Shakespeare in the Park(ing) Lot

July 29, 2010 - August 14, 2010: The second and final production this summer of The Drilling Company's Shakespeare in the Park(ing) Lot will be "Julius Caesar," directed by Hamilton Clancy (Artistic Director) July 29 to August 14 In an unusual adaptation, Shakespeare's drama about the nature of ambition and politics is set in a contemporary urban school system

The Drilling Company's two-part Shakespeare in the Park(ing) Lot season also includes "Love's Labours Lost," directed by Kathy Curtis, July 8 to 24 This is the 19th consecutive year for Shakespeare in the Park(ing) Lot, a favorite New York summertime cultural treat that is performed free in a municipal parking lot at the corner of Ludlow and Broome Streets, Manhattan

In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," a favorite for all ages, the commoners rejoice over Caesar's triumph over Pompey while the patricians, fearing his irresistable ambition, conspire against him and enlist the noble Brutus to their cause with the manipulation of wily Cassius After their plot is successful and Caesar is assasinated, Mark Antony incites the rabble against the conspirators with uncanny rhetorical skill, then allies with Octavius Caesar and Lepidus against Brutus and Cassius Octavius' army prevails and Cassius and Brutus are forced to accept defeat by falling on their own swords

In this updated version, Shakespeare's text is intact but Caesar becomes an administrative head of a school murdered by staffers and parents intent on preserving the prior system The roles of Cassius and Mark Antony are cast with women Director Hamilton Clancy explains, "We're trying to find small worlds where the struggles for power and authority are intense and fought with life and death vigor We were also searching for worlds in which women share power on an equal level with men When we look around today at the front pages of our papers, those battles are being fought over the school system and education because in America, our class wars are being fought tooth and nail in the halls of schools all over the city Along comes one man who says to the Department of Education, give over control of all the schools to me and everything will be better"

Hamilton Clancy (Director, Caesar) is founder and producing Artistic Director of The Drilling Company As an actor, he has appeared in new works Off-Broadway in cluding "Dog Logic" at the American Place Theatre and "The Retributionists," directed by Leight Silverman at Playwrights Horizons His films include the Coen Brothers "Burn After Reading" and Ridley Scott's "American Gangster" For television, he has appeared on "Third Watch," "Law and Order," "The Unusuals," "Life on Mars," "All My Children" and "One Life to Life," among others In the Parking Lot, he began as an actor and quickly became a producer and director as well As an actor he has played Hamlet , Henry the Fifth, Benedict and Petruchio As a director, his previous parking lot productions include "Two Gentlemenen of Verona" set in Little Italy and last summer's "Measure for Measure " set in the Deep South For The Drilling Company, he has directed world premieres of "Mutant Sex Party" by Edward Manning, "Over the Line" by NYIT award winning PSeth Bauer and "Bird Brain" by Vern Theissen, winner of the Canadian Govenor's award He has produced other premieres including "Atomic Farmgirl" by C Denby Swanson (recognized with grants from the McKnight Foundtion, Jerome Foundation and TCG), "Windows on the World" by Peter Killy, "Big Apples" by Stephen Bittrich and "Dealers" by Neal Olson For The Drilling Company, he has commissioned and produced over 200 short plays, including an early short version of the Pulitzer prize recognized "Thom Pine:based on nothing" by Will Eno, in which he also originated the title role, and Vincent Delaney's Heidemann award winning short, "KUWAIT" He has also produced and directed multiple work by Andrea Moon, Brian Dykstra, Scott Baker, Eric Henry Sanders In the fall, he will direct the world premiere of "The Reservoir" by Eric Heny Sanders

Rebecca Lord, (Costume Design), currently of NYU's graduated design program, returns as designer to the Parking Lot for her third season, having previously designed The Drilling Company's ""Measure for Measure," "Midsummer Night's Dream," "Twelfth Night," "FAITH," "Atomic Farmgirl," "HERO" and "JUSTICE, SECURITY, and REVENGE part 2"

The cast features Selene Beretta, a company member of NY's Amoralists Theatre Company and several past Drilling Company productions as Cassius Ivory Aquino, a member of the Flea Theatre's BATS and Leviathan Theatre group who appeared last summer as Isabella in "Measure for Measure," plays Marc Antony She is a cousin of former Philippine prime minister Corazon Aquino Mark Jeter, who last appeared in the Parking Lot in "Measure for Measure," will play Brutus Brandon Riley, seen memorably in "Over the Line" at The Drilling Company this fall, plays Lucius Bill Green, who appeared in "Measure for Measure" and "Much Ado about Nothing," plays Casca The cast also includes Bobby Plasencia, Brian D Hills, Leila Okafor, Marianna Caldwell, Joann Sacco, Bill Green, Amanda C Fuller and Jarad Benn

The Drilling Company (wwwdrillingcompanyorg) took over as producer of Shakespeare in the Park(ing) Lot seven years ago [A history of Shakespeare in the Park(ing) Lot will be available soon on the Drilling Company website] The troupe, founded in 1999, is also a prolific presenter of new works in its permanent home at 236 West 78th Street (one block south of the #1 train at 79th Street), where it nurtures and produces new works by emerging playwrights The Drilling Company has developed and produced works by such well known playwrights as Will Eno, Brian Dykstra, C Denby Swanson, Tom Strelich, Vincent Delaney, Eric Henry Sanders and Trish Harnetiaux The company is led by Artistic Director Hamilton Clancy, who has been an actor in Coen Brothers "Burn After Reading" and Ridley Scott's " American Gangster" and recently appeared at Playwrights Horizons in "The Retributionists" by Daniel Goldfarb, directed by Leigh Silverman

The pairing of "Love's Labours Lost" and "Julius Caesar" for this year's Shakespeare in the Park(ing) Lot was actually a thematic choice, not a marriage of convenience Says Artistic Director Hamilton Clancy, "We thought it was a good time to explore two works about folks getting along--and not--in love and politics"

Performances are Thursdays through Saturdays at 8:00 PM for both shows Seating is on a first come first served basis, with audience members often arriving as early as 7:00 PM to secure a place You are encouraged and welcome to bring your own chair Once seats are gone, blankets are spread out
