TINY NINJA THEATER’S TREASURE ISLAND
Thursday, October 2 // 10:00 am & 11:00 am
Dov Weinstein’s Tiny Ninja Theater is Manhattan’s best fringe theatre. Well known for its well-traveled productions of Shakespearian tragedies, inch-high plastic ninjas and assorted dime-store figures perform. Now gingerly wading into the muddy waters of novelic adaptation, the Robert Louis Stevenson classic, Treasure Island, is interactively brought to the stage experience.

JOHN “SURVIVOR” BLAKE
Tuesday, November 11 // 10:00 am & 11:00 am
Blake made huge waves in the performance poetry scene when he started hitting the stage with his powerful words built on hard knocks and amazingly dramatic life experiences. He endures as one of the most poignant and artful spoken word poets of his generation. Most recently, the poet was on the 2007 NYC Louder Arts poetry slam team placing third in the national competition.
