WHAT?

AntiMatter Collective is proud to present:

The Tower

A psychedelic journey into the history and mythology of the Donner Party, a group of snowbound pioneers who notoriously resorted to cannibalism to survive the brutal winter of 1846-47. Historical narrative collides with hallucinatory imagery to create a shifting landscape filled with the whispers of the past and the roar of the future. A vision of adolescent America: frostbitten, bloodstained, ravenous. 

If you would like to know more about us, please visit www.antimattercollective.org for more info about the show and the company.


WHERE?

The show will take place at

Standard Toykraft
722 Metropolitan Ave, 3rd floor
Williamsburg, Brooklyn


WHEN?

We play a three-week engagement April 12-26, Wednesday through Sunday at 8pm.


WHAT DO WE NEED?

This project cannot happen without your help. Between space rental, props, lights,  costumes and keeping our actors hydrated, we need to raise about $3,000. Any donations, no matter how small, will be not only incredibly important, it will make us weep with gratitude.


HOW CAN I HELP?

Donating is not only easy, it comes with a lot of good perks. Plus, you would be sponsoring the arts, which basically makes you a Medici of the Modern Times. Any donation we get will go towards the production (we won’t bet any of it on horses, we promise) and bringing this exciting, strange, wonderful new work to the stage. Finally, we are fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas, which means that all or most of your donation (depending on the perk) is tax-deductible!


WHO?

We have gathered the finest cast in New York City and the most exciting team in independent theater anywhere.

CAST: Elizabeth Bays, Courtney Fenwick, Rebecca Hirota*, Marlowe Holden, Andrew Krug*, Christopher Norwood*, Joe Petersen, Scott Raker*, Leah Walsh*, Curry Whitmire*
