Event Link

Performance for One is a one-on-one performance event written and directed by Edward Einhorn, presented in 10 minute slots at venues across Manhattan. The performance is about memory, but even more so, it is about relationship between performer, audience member, and author. What is the responsibility of the audience member, and how is it felt differently when there is only one audience member? Who is the story teller, the author or the performer? What happens to a memory that two people share after one of those people is gone?

Written and directed by Edward Einhorn, (The Marriage of Alice B. Toklas by Gertrude Stein, Critic’s Pick, The New York Times). With a rotating cast of diverse actors, spanning age, gender, and ethnicity, including Elizabeth Chappel, Joshua Coleman, Andrea Gallo, Jan Leslie Harding, Allison Hiroko, Yvonne Roen, Melissa Rakiro, and Moira Stone.

For those who wish to attend Part 2, a second performance in the same vein, it is exclusively performed by Yvonne Roen. Those are currently scheduled for September 6, 8, 21, and 28; October 10, 13,and 20; and November 3.
