Interviewing the Audience

Tickets and Information

RE:Interviewing the Audience
This play was seen on 7/24/10 in the Powerhouse Theater Vassar College Campus Poughkeepsie: I went to see Zach Helm perform this piece simply on a whim, because it had sounded like an interesting concept. Helm had actually seen this same play performed, when he was a child, so as ?homage? to the original he asks the same first question which is: ?how did you get here tonight?? When I saw this performed Helm asked 3 people from the audience to sit on the stage, with him, and he then proceeded to ask them questions. At the end he summarized the 3 interviews into a common denominator. When I saw him he asked questions of 3 very similar, middle class, women and the common denominator was Love, which I felt you could have said about ANY 3 interviews. I?m hoping that with a crowd as diverse as NYC typically has he will be able to draw from a much richer base and come up with a more interesting conclusion. The concept was very interesting and the time spent watching this performance was well worth it.
