GOD IS A VERB is an engaging and urgent portrait of a world - and a man - on the brink. In 1969, an eccentric professor gathers a team of offbeat academics to play a game with one goal: make the world work for all humanity. What unfolds tears spacetime as we are whisked from a beatnik cafe to a treetop congressional hearing and back by way of a university telephone. As the clock ticks, the lines blur between the game and the real world and we wonder if we've detached from reality altogether.

This six-part workshop will kick off our examination of the life and work of R. Buckminster Fuller. Focusing on issues of class, gender, and privilege within his World Game, our 2015 play begins with this in-depth series of workshops! There's more HERE.

For three years, black clouds have blotted out the sun over Our America. A five-minute break in the clouds over a small town gives the whole nation hope… and compels a desperate government aided by a corporate conglomerate to sequester the town’s residents in a warehouse facility where they are made to recreate their actions at the cloudless moment . . .over and over. . . in the hopes of once again summoning the sun.

At once an impressionistic flip-book of modern small-town America, a story of one family strained to make huge decisions, and a stern reminder of the power of the natural world, The Summoners clicks and whirrs through the world of its characters hoping to find salvation in the tiniest detail.

This October we'll be work-shopping our newest creation, The Summoners in an intensive month of creative smack-down, re-writes, improvisation, and musical discovery. Before Halloween comes, we will have a piece ready to begin rehearsals for a January show!!

Hook & Eye will return from the country and reveal the work we've done at our Residency in a reading at the Fordham FRESH ART Weekend, August 2-4 at the Lincoln Center Campus.  Stay tuned for particulars.

Hook & Eye Theater is taking a week this summer to pull together threads from our three PlayLabs, create some new material, and prepare a show for the fall.  We are lucky to be holding our retreat out of the city in a lovely farm setting, and look forward to working with a new director - Sherri Kronfeld, playwright Gavin Broady, and several new actors this summer.  Stay tuned for the product of our labors in the fall!   MORE INFO HERE
