Packed the House at Judson Church

Cry of the Mountain and Adelind Horan packed the house at Judson Church in Greenwich Village tonight.
The crowd loved it.
And even though the big church can both swallow and echo sound, the audience, over 100 (more than expected, so we had to add extra rows in front), anyway, the audience stayed focused on each character be brought to live so well.
Another standing ovation, for the show and the talent, and the message of the play — the people who it represents.
After the show for those interested, Adelind and Annalyse McCoy held a informative and often person discussion about the play, the process, and Mountaintop Removal in Appalachia.
Thank you, Annalyse, for bringing you Kentucky childhood to our post show community.
Annalyse was the artists’ organizer for Appalachia Rising and is now living in NY. She is a musician — her bank is called, “Two-Thirds Goat.” Take a listen here:http://www.twothirdsgoat.com/fr_23goat.cfm
Cry Mountain at Bailout, Judson Church, NYC
Well, get ready for it NY. 13 Characters and a banjo. This is our first performance in the apple, and our first shot at tightening the show from 90 minutes to our more Festival Friendly 60 minutes version, for this summer.

Cry of the New York Debut
Wednesday, March 2nd, at Judson Church’s Bailout Theatre
From Adelind Horan, creator and performer of this wonderful one woman show:
Cry of the Mountain: A Documentary Play about Mountaintop Removal in Appalachia (my one-woman show) will be making its’ NYC debut with Bailout Theatre at the beautiful Judsen Memorial Church right next to Washington Square Park on Wednesday, March 2nd!
The coolest part is: get there at 7:30 for a free catered dinner, the show starts at 8 and that’s also FREE!
In case you’re curious, in the show I play 13 real people (activists, coal company executives, scholars, artists, and coalfield residents) using their words verbatim from original interviews. A very cute banjo player accompanies the monologues.
Here. This has a little promo video on it: www.wholetheatre.org/mountain
The show will (hopefully) run about an hour and afterward there will be a talkback with MTR specialists.
In other wonderful news, today the EPA vetoed the largest single mountaintop removal permit in West Virginia history, the Spruce No. 1 Mine!
Yesssss! Get excited! Come learn more about MTR, enjoy free food and theatre, and learn how to help make more of these exciting victories happen! Bring friends!

ThreePeats, Tripple Threats and Virgins

Well, well, well… here we are again, doing 24/7 in Charlottesville for the 3rd year in a row. Which means, that even though our goal is to have half the faces of our talent fresh each year, we still have an elite crew who have repeated or participated in two different ways.
Look for the Code:
- 3P – Threepeat
- TT – Triple Threat
- NR – New to Role
- V – Virgin
A ThreePeat is a person, only few exist, who with the 24/7, will have performed in the same role (actor, director or playwright) three times.
A Triple Threat is also rare person who will have, with this 24/7, mastered the three roles of actor, director and playwright.
A “New to Role” means that the person is participating in a way they have not yet before participated.
And, a “Virgin” is a person who has never been in 24/7 before.
