ELECTRIC PEAR PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS: SYNESTHESIA 2010

Written by The Best of Off Broadway
Published 2010-03-18

In October 2009, a composer/lyricist team was asked to select a fortune cookie.  They created a musical theatre piece based on the fortune.  Two weeks later, they presented their work to another artist. This artist then had two weeks to create a piece based on the work shown to him (never having seen the fortune), and then presented his art to the next artist in the series.  She then created a piece…and then another artist, and then another artist… eventually, eleven in all.

From April 21st  – May 1st 2010, the assembled works of all eleven artists will be presented live, in-sequence, at the? Wild Project in New York City’s East Village (269 East 3rd Street). Conceived and Produced by Ashlin Halfnight, Melanie Sylvan & Electric Pear Productions.

“Electric Pear Productions has taken the grade-school game of Telephone to a new level.”? – Time Out New York
