Our inaugural production, Charles L. Mee's True Love,
heralded the opening of a new and unique Off-Broadway theatre space-The
Zipper: a factory renovated and transformed by the True Love
creative team in conjunction with the theatre owners specifically
to suit the needs of our production. What resulted was a theatre
piece perfectly married to its atmosphere; a totally enveloping
theatrical experience. The audience lounged in car seats, eating
popcorn and drinking beer to the sounds of our live garage band
as Mee's exploration of love played out in the abandoned zipper
factory turned gas station. True Love was met with
resounding critical acclaimtheatergoers and critics alike
praised the strength of the ensemble cast, the inventive direction,
and the stunning theatricality of the work.
