Spencer Campbell & Jaime Lutz present Immortality is Ad-Supported

9:30pm

A dying woman undergoes an experimental medical procedure which promises to let her live forever. It's free, with a catch: from now on, her waking life will be ad-supported. A comic nightmare and an unlikely love story, Immortality is Ad-Supported is a reason not to skip the commercials.

Nic Adams presents Icarus in the L.E.S.

10pm

Icarus in the L.E.S. (work in progress showing) is an epic performance-poem that picks up where the myth left off. It presents Icarus – having never died when he fell from the sky – but instead living on, badly crippled. At present, he finds himself in Manhattan looking for respect and notoriety as an artist among the world’s most mystical poets. The excerpt that will be shared at !?:New Works is a teched-out poetry reading featuring live field recordings of NYC street sounds and a performance by Isabella Sazak.

Title:Point presents Pair of Dice

10:30pm

Pair of Dice: You're traveling through another dimension -- a dimension of twins. A twinsmension, if you will. A journey into a wondrous land where… They laugh alike, they walk alike, at times they even talk alike — You CAN, certainly, lose your mind.

Featuring: Eliza Bent, Theresa Buchheister, Ryan William Downey, Brian Lady, Alyse Lamb, Joey LePage, Megan Manowitz, and Scott M. Ries.
