A Nuance Theatre Company Production

CHAMBER MUSIC
by Arthur Kopit

Dark Comedy? Tragedy? Absurd? Horror?
Think you know this play? Think again….

Arthur Kopit’s CHAMBER MUSIC…..Like not seen before!

Director John DeSotelle once again brings to the stage a remarkable and unexpected theatrical piece within the intimate, close-up theater setting of The NuBox venue in Hell’s Kitchen. Armed with powerful performances and an outstanding set and light design from award winning scenic designer, Matthew Imhoff, this professional Equity Showcase production of Chamber Music promises to be a provocative and entertaining experience.

IT’S CAPTIVATING.  IT’S DISTURBING. IT’S FUN – UNTIL IT’S NOT!

SEPTEMBER 17 – 26, 2021

FOR TICKETS:  CLICK HERE

Set in the women’s ward of an insane asylum, 1938, Chamber Music explores transgressive themes of entrapment, rebellion and identity.  The story revolves around a meeting of eight women to discuss what to do about a perceived threat of attack they fear is mounting from the men’s ward.  The women are (or at least believe themselves to be) eight famous figures from history: Gertrude Stein, Susan B. Anthony, Joan of Arc, Queen Isabella I, Osa Johnson, Pearl White, Constanze Mozart, and Amelia Earhart.  Come and join us up the attic stairs of the asylum for an urgent member meeting……  Are you ready to meet the Committee?

HOW IT STARTED:

Initiated during COVID quarantine, John DeSotelle along with an inspired team of actors starved for an artistic outlet and the need to connect and create, chose a play not often performed yet teaming with a collection of distinctive roles. After months of exploration, research and the re-imagining of the script and its characters the project gradually evolved into a professional main stage production of CHAMBER MUSIC…..Like you’ve not seen before!

FEATURING:
