The perfect comedy for an economic tragedy. From Shakespeare's London to last year's Wall Street, we bring you Ben Jonson's satire, "The Alchemist," performing at parks in Manhattan this fall! This blog is a place for the artistic team behind the play to give updates and voice opinions on the process of adaptating this hilarious play. It's also a place for advisors, friends and donors to get involved in the conversation! If you're interested in writing, click on the Indiegogo link below!

There was laughter and there were tears, but nobody left the Stock Market
Carnival empty handed! Some chose to take their winnings by force in the
dart booth as their Nerf darts soared to victory. Others let Lady Luck
take control as they gambled their chances during “Bear or Bull,” our
variation of the coin game “Heads or Tails”. For those who really wanted
to take a chance, the “phishing” booth was readily available with prizes
fresh for the taking. Guests came in carrying nothing but the weight of
the recession, yet they left with airline tickets and bourbon, gold and
movie tickets, and an endless supply of homemade cupcakes! Success!
