Inspired by New York's pre-Giuliani era Outlaw Parties, which were entirely illegal events taking place throughout the NY Metro area in the mid 1980s, this Guerilla-style exhibition features works that are placed, performed, installed or simply occur in unorthodox settings. Without the aid of commercial or public institutions, the artists participating in the Outlaw Series take the questions of context, economy, time and meaning into their own hands, embracing the freedom of dissent that creativity thrives upon. In this spirit of alternatives to more conventional exhibitions and exhibition spaces, all of the artists listed below have proposed radical approaches to contemporary art making and installation.
These projects and events take place between December
13 and 20th, and the locations of each individual work will
be posted on the fully downloadable website/catalogue. For more
information or to join our mailing list, please contact Lisa
Kirk, lisa@theoutlawseries.com.

WE'RE ALL DEAD
By James Evans and Francis Heaney
The Greatest English 101 Cliffs Notes
Musical Comedy of All Time!
Nov.15 - Dec.14, 2003
Opens Sat, Nov. 15th at 8:00 PM
with another show Sun, Nov. 16th also at 8:00 PM
***thereafter Thursdays through Sundays at 8:00 PM through December 14th.
***There are no shows on Thanksgiving
or the following day***
Irreverently based on Oedipus, The Metamorphosis
and Hamlet, yet true to the stories, We're All Dead presents
these 3 classic tales in a hyperactive (and cheerfully profane)
hour and a half musical romp. "Oedipus Rocks" lampoons
Sophocles's tragic tale of a King bound by his fate to sleep
with his mother, murder his father, and bring about the demise
of his kingdom. "A Giant Bug's Life" spoofs Kafka's
tale of alienation about a man who wakes up changed into a bug.
Finally, "Zany Danes" retells the Bard's classic about
the young prince who just can't manage to make any decisions,
in a way that has never been seen before. Seriously.
The Cast of over 20 includes Jedidiah Cohen, Tom Bartos, Michelle
Bialeck, Trisha Gorman, Tate Henderson, Sean Doran, Jason St.
Sauver, and Vanessa Longley-Cook.

Ubu Roi
By Alfred Jarry
Directed by Charmian Creagle
December 1st through December 14th
Performances Monday through Wednesday at 8:00 PM
Saturday and Sunday Matinees at 2:00 PM
chashama presents The Pretention Co.'s inaugural production - Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi. In its tongue in cheek nature, the newly formed company is thrilled to offer up what many consider the inspiration for absurdism, dada and surrealism, but what is in all actuality, a joke. The play was created by Jarry and his schoolmates during the late 1800s as a prank centered around his physics teacher whom they considered an absolute buffoon. The story is a simple one - Ubu, the play's anti-protagonist is coerced by his wife to kill the king of Poland (stolen unflinchingly from the story of Macbeth). Along the way Ubu manages to destroy the entire political regime, steal all he can, kill anyone who opposes him, and of course, get away with it.

On Dec 10th the Relentless Theater Company officially re-names their unique Scholarship, The Anita Durst Scholarship for the Arts at chashama's TIXE113 Gallery. Over the last eight years Anita Durst has developed chashama, an organization that encourages the collaboration and production of new work by new and emerging artists. Anita Durst grants free and subsidized space to artists of all genres including rehearsal, performance, studio/office, and gallery space. Since 1995 chashama has transformed ten vacant spaces in New York City into multi-arts complexes. This past year, Anita granted over 2,000 hours of free rehearsal space, 50 free visual art studio space and presented over 100 performances.
The Relentless Theatre Company develops playwrights whose original works reflect the current social climate and question established ideas. With each production, Relentless Theatre Company will award The Anita Durst Scholarship to an inner city high school student who has exhibited excellence in the theater arts. The Scholarship recipient will apprentice with the company during the course of the production and is given a portion of the production's proceeds to put towards their higher education.
Relentless's next recipient is Jovanni Barnes, a future lighting designer from NYC's High School for Leadership and Public Service. Jovanni will apprentice on their upcoming production of The Hunger Waltz scheduled to open January 10th at chashama. For tickets and more information about the December 10th event to honor Anita Durst please call 212-340-1916.

SWEET WILLIAM COLLECTIVE
PREMIERES RON FITZGERALD'S
PARTS UNKNOWN
9/12 - 9/29
Wed-Sat @ 8pm
Sat-Sun @ 3pm (except 9/28)
Mon, 9/29 @ 8pm
Directed by Michael Criscuolo
Cast: Tim Artz*, Brian Cichocki, Danielle Duvall*, Nathan Perez*,
Bryan Richards*, Ed Sambucci, Tamara Scott*, Mandy Siegfried*,
Ken Schatz*, Patricia Spahn*, and Dan Truman.
Sweet William Collective (SWC) presents the
World Premiere of Parts Unknown, a new play by Juilliard playwright
Ron Fitzgerald and directed by Michael Criscuolo. Parts Unknown
was originally presented as a staged reading at the National
Playwrights Conference, James Houghton, Artistic Director at
the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center. It was then featured in SWC's
Informal Reading Series, last October. "We have found an
exciting, necessary new work, and we're thrilled to bring it
to full production", says Danielle Duvall, SWC's Founder
and Artistic Director.
Parts Unknown is an acerbic new play addressing
the corruption of humanity in America. It follows the lives
of seven disparate people: a rock musician and his teenage groupie,
two ruthless corporate sharks, an innocent, backwards youth
and his older brother, and a mysterious (and disarmingly droll)
shaman. The play chronicles the lacerating effect of today's
capitalistic, media-laden, bottom-line society on those who
yearn for something deeper. A struggle, both hilarious and tragic,
to fight against the deeply-ingrained habits of selfishness
and greed.
Parts Unknown is not intended
for children: parental discretion is advised.
Reservations are strongly recommended.
RESERVATION HOTLINE: 917-269-0125.
Tickets: $15 at the door.
Sweet William Collective is a new, Manhattan-based
theatre company made up of 40 audacious, seasoned artists (writers,
actors, directors, designers), and Parts Unknown marks the first
of four upcoming productions during SWC's inaugural season.
Deeply rooted in the principles of ensemble collaboration and
artistic risk, the mission of Sweet William Collective is to
advance the vitality of New York's ever-changing community,
through exceptional storytelling in theatre. SWC provides enriching,
thought-provoking material, furthering the developmental growth
of both our artists and our audiences.

of
Chashama Theater. There, the performers will sing to the passing
public, playing characters that might not normally sing these
songs
-- the bank teller from Harrisonburg, Virginia, the high school
track
coach from Minnesota. This juxtaposition of protest songs from
the
mouths of these characters promises to be entertaining and
