Big news! As Richard Foreman begins work on Idiot Savant at The Public, The Ontological-Hysteric Theater will open its doors to emerging artists with year-round Incubator programming. With the big year ahead, we thought it appropriate to host a party for these fine artists before buckling down for some hard work.

Don't be glum about summer ending; you can relish in the excitement of new beginnings: what used to be triggered by a new lunchbox, new teachers, new shoes... But this time, it's new art. Guests who get into the school spirit and bring a picture of themselves when they were young and impressionable to hang on the wall receive $5 off admission. With regular tickets affordably priced at $15, even if you're nervous about showing off those school uniform skorts or that cool-aid dyed hair of yesteryear, this party is for everyone.

In addition to the wall of collected photos, the party will feature DJs in the theater, and beer and barbecue in the back yard, served appropriately on school lunch trays. A preview video will be projected in the theater throughout the evening, composed of clips from the upcoming artists' previous work.
