Rip Van Winkle + Borscht Belt ruins + Existential Horror Show
New York City, 1809: an older gentleman of questionable mental health goes missing. Now, over 200 years later, Diedrich Knickerbocker has reemerged in the Catskills, hiding out in the decayed ruins of a once legendary Borscht Belt resort.
When his anxieties finally manifest themselves as terrifying garden gnomes, and his vengeful liver-eating bird-woman of a wife crashes through the ceiling, our modern/ancient hero is thrust from the mundane into the mythic.
Inspired by Prometheus Bound, The Book of Ecclesiastes, Dirty Dancing, and the writings of Washington Irving, Now Is The Time. Now Is The Best Time. Now Is The Best Time Of Your Life is an epic treatise on trying to leave one’s mark on a world that never stands still. Coleslaw included.
Written by Michael Levinton, Laura von Holt, and the company.
Directed by Michael Levinton.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
WEDNESDAY thru SATURDAY @ 7:30 PM
