PRESS RELEASE (download here) FEVERFEST 08: Elemental For the third year running, Whistler in the Dark presents FeverFest – an explosive collection of work by some of Boston’s most vital young companies. Founded in 2006 as a chance for small companies to explore work that they might otherwise never have the chance to tackle, FeverFest has established itself as one of the most exciting theatrical events of Boston’s summer scene. This year’s festival is a true exploration in theater—plays, solo performers, new work, excerpts… from Gertrude Stein to William Donnelly, traditional theatre to multi-media performance art, FeverFest will delve into the deepest crevices of the imagination to mine the theatrical potentials exposed in this year’s theme: elemental. Returning for a third time are both Mill 6 Collaborative and Imaginary Beasts, FeverFest’s unofficial resident companies. Joining us for the first time are The Orfeo Group, individual artists Jordan Harrison and Theo Goodell, and The New Exhibition Room, which is making its Boston debut with this festival. And finally, Whistler in the Dark will present a piece of our own. Join us as nearly 30 artists representing 7 companies explore the theatrical elements. July 23rd-26th, 2008 at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center. PRESS NIGHT: Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008.
For press tickets, questions or pre-production photos, please contact Meg Taintor at 617-459-2706 or meg@whistlerinthedark.com. Whistler in the Dark Theatre was founded by Co-Artistic Directors Ben Fainstein and Meg Taintor in September 2005 as an exploration: its inception has been sparked by the desire to delve into vividly dramatic texts and to bring back young people to the theatre. During its first two seasons, Whistler has presented four full-length plays, and sponsored two years of FeverFest – a festival devoted providing opportunities to connect exploratory artists with adventurous audiences by creating an outlet for innovative, cutting-edge, and contemporary performance in the Greater Boston area . Whistler received an Elliot Norton Award nomination for its production of Howard Barker's The Possibilities.
