SCRATCH NIGHT AT TNC
Crystal Field and Theater for the New City (TNC) will present a varied schedule "Scratch Night” performance program, which offers the opportunity for artists to present work in progress to an audience for one night. Scratch Night started in the United Kingdom in 2000 as a way to show work in progress in an evolution of performances. At TNC, we will put our own spin on the idea to best serve our own theatre community and New York area audiences.
Scratch Night is looking for a variety of the most daring artists to try out their most cool thoughts on stage and the audience will help in the development by way of TNC’s scratch ballot. Scratch Nights will take place throughout the year on a varied schedule. All theatrical forms are welcome. All stages of development are welcome.
Scratch Night at TNC will continue on Monday, March 15th at 7pm

SUKI LIVINGSTON OPENS LIKE A PARACHUTE
by Robin Rice Lichtig
Shutting down for protection, opening up for living. How do you know what to do when?
Suki Louise Livingston, 50, is a visual artist in New York City. As the first big break of her career looms, she is going blind and losing confidence at a rapid rate. Memories from a past she has taken pains to forget crash in unbidden. She can't see her hand in front of her face, but she sees the memories all too clearly.
A journey through the 1950s and 60s: repression to explosion to rebirth. Suki encounters Martin Luther King, Jr., JFK, Rev. William Sloan Coffin, Wonder Woman, and other iconic figures as true events unfold.
This Scratch Night presentation is directed by Tracy Bersley.
