Many of One Way or Another Productions' repository actors are alumni of Manhattan's The Living Theatre, without which we may have never had the opportunity to see these actors at their best. Actors including Chris Riquinha (Uptown, Cookies & Cream, Abandoned), Maria Guzman (Miranda, Abandoned), Michael Gentile (Abandoned), and many more we have yet to work with are heavily associated with this theatre - a place that has produced amazing talents through the years. In less than 2 weeks, if The Living Theatre doesn't reach its goal of raising 24,000 dollars, it will be only a memory.

The Project
We need to save The Living Theatre, period. This month our beloved Lower East Side arts landmark learned that they were facing eviction. Unless we come up with $24,000+ dollars in the next two weeks, the organization will have to close its doors and say good-bye to the Lower East Side forever. With this money The Living Theatre will be able to pay its rent, bring in a consultant to develop a 5-year strategic plan, and turn itself into a financially sustainable arts organization. Bravo.
The Business
The Living Theatre has been a cultural landmark in the Lower East Side for over 65 years. Founded in 1947 by the legendary duo Judith Malina and Julian Beck, the group has staged over a hundred productions in NYC and all over the world. Part experimental theatre, part cultural revolutionaries, The Living Theatre group wants nothing less than to rewrite the theatrical contract.
