BIOGRAPHIES and HEADSHOTS
 
Description:
    
Chantecler, by Edmond Rostand, author of Cyrano de Bergerac is an animal allegory about a rooster who believes that his song makes the sun rise.  Adhesive Theater Project's production investigated the themes of inspiration, finding our place in society, and overcoming our greatest doubts and fears.

With our resident composer's 3 piece band performing an original score, 2 visual artists drawing the world of the play as it transpired, and 10 actors playing over 100 characters using puppets, masks, and physical theater, Adhesive Theater Project broke new ground in the theater by offering a uniquely live experience for the whole family.

Director Cory Einbinder returned to this play 10 years after his critically acclaimed first production, hailed as:
 
"gorgeously imaginative staging... artistic triumph of the year... Cory Einbinder has reached into an enormous bag of tricks to give this production an almost non-stop sense of whimsy." -- Citipaper
 
"Imagination abounds... Einbinder has to be commended on his witty, atmospheric production." -- Philadelphia Weekly
 
"amazingly powerful... Cory Einbinder directs with imagination... deserves to be seen by a much larger audience." -- Hats Off


Not seen in New York since it's original Broadway production in 1911, this fresh translation brought back the poetry and vitality of the original French.  We celebrated the year of the rooster with this king of the barnyard - Chantecler.

Description:
     The Marriage of Figaro...  Inspiration to Rossini and Mozart...  Harbinger of the French Revolution...  Grandfather to numerous Warner Bros. cartoons...   Meet the sequel!!!   The play casts the loveably mischievous Figaro and his defiantly-loyal wife Susanna as refugees seeking asylum abroad due to a revolution in their home country.  The story is about identity and the cost of changing it in order to survive.  (Don't worry -- it's a comedy.)

Spring Awakening
    
    By Frank Wedekin
    Translated by Ted Hughes
    Conceived & Directed by Cory Einbinder
    Stage Manager Rachel Schulman
    Music & Sound by Joel Griffin
    Costumes & Additional Art by Paata Uta Bekaia
    Sets, Props & Lighting by Cory Einbinder
    At Center Stage, NYC
 
Featuring:
    Max Arnaud, Maha Chehlaoui, Tim Cusack*, Kalle Macrides,
    Alanna Medlock, Grant Moninger, and Matthew Pritchard
        *Appearing Courtesy of Actor's Equity Association
 
Description:
    
The play, written in 1892, was banned and greatly censured until the 1960s.  This new version by Ted Hughes "lends the dialogue a particularly modern terseness and bite, drawing out all the erotic energy of the original."  In this production, the world of the play is inspired by the work of acclaimed author and illustrator, Edward Gorey.  With his dark comic style, and elegant inking of his imagination, the play finds a perfect marriage of beauty and cruelty.

Description:
    
A Tale of a Superhero and a mute girl. Inspired by the great Jack Kirby. It is the story of A Fall from Grace -- the loss of innocence of two characters when they confront the real world. The narrative is told through clear images and layers of sound, music, movement, and spectacle -- a collage, free from formulaic situations with room for interpretation.
