Posted by Ryan J. Davis on July 7th, 2010
You’re probably as excited as I am about Friday’s UNDERWORLD, a DTP fundraiser featuring actual fire-breathing and sky high aerial work. If that’s not enough for you, add great music and drink specials.
You can get your tickets now for just $15, saving a few bucks from buying at the door. 
https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/117805
This is also your first chance to see Adam (DTP’s Founding Director) flying himself. He’s been spending hours rehearsing for this (as you can see from the picture) and you don’t want to miss it.
All money raised from your tax-deductible ticket purchase goes toward our first New York premiere of “The Orpheus Variations”, coming late August.

Thanks for your continued support and look forward to seeing you on Friday,

Veritas
Posted by Adam J. Thompson on June 29th, 2010
Coming to the 2010 New York International Fringe Festival
The Deconstructive Theatre Project
is proud to be an associate producer of
directed by Ryan J. Davis
with original music by Rachel Peters
and dramaturgy by DTP Founding Director, Adam J. Thompson
In the spring of 1920, a Harvard undergraduate’s suicide unearthed a hidden homosexual subculture among the student population of the university. Grief-stricken and demanding justice, his family brought two incriminating letters to the attention of Harvard’s legendary president, Lawrence Lowell, who hastily assembled a team of deans to expurgate these “sexual deviants” before they infected other students on campus. Inspired by these events, VERITAS is the tragic story of the bright-futured boys whose lives fell prey to a family’s desire for revenge and an august institution’s reckless pursuit of the Truth.
For more information on “Veritas”, visit the production’s official website, veritastheplay.com.

Painting for the Orpheus Variations

- Orpheus Variation 5
I’ve been doing a series of paintings inspired by our current project “Orpheus Variations”. This one is inspired by our attempt to create Persephone in the Underworld during workshop. We saw Persephone as towering, elegant, and able to see memories by touching and smelling old photographs.
