Sub-Basement

What is the place of art and imagination in our increasingly Orwellian society? Sub-Basement follows Adrienne, a former poet now Royal Canadian Mounted Police trainee, on an absurdist odyssey to find her true purpose amid the dark corners of New York City, the depths of the Drama Book Shop, and her muddled past. Her voyage is guided by Gustav (a one-time climatologist) and Arnaud (an erstwhile poet), all while being pursued by Simon, who (unbeknownst to her) is set on becoming her fiancé. Are we ever free of the disappointments of the past, and can we escape the expectation of our parents? Join on a voyage deep into Adrienne’s psyche — and try to discover what life’s really about.

The production stars Patrick K. Dooley (Lake Homo High) as Simon, Veronique Ory (The Man Under) as Adrienne, Barry Phillips (Orange Is the New Black) as Arnaud, and Zenon Zeleniuch (Perfect Crime) as Gustav.
