Zombie Prom
Sick of running around the streets of NYC on Halloween dodging slutty costumes and drunk frat boys? Well lucky for you that PST has got you covered.
Mark your calendars for PST's Zombie Prom. We'll have live bands, a costume contest, prom photos and of course the crowning of a Zombie Prom King and Queen.
You're not going to want to miss this. All proceeds will directly benefit PST. See you on Halloween...that is if you're not too scared.
Details to come. Stay tuned.

Press Release: Safari Party
From the writer of Calendar Girls and Kinky Boots
Personal Space Theatrics is pleased to announce the US Premiere
of Tim Firth's
The SAFARI PARTY
At Kaufman Theater at Algonquin
Directed by Nicholas Cotz
Special Previews: Friday Sept 19th, 8pm; Saturday, Sept. 20th, 2pm
OPENING NIGHT: Saturday Sept. 20th, 8PM
Set inside three households of Cheshire, England, this black farce for the 21th century is not to be missed. Lies, blood, racism, suicide, shotguns, sheep shears and table golf are all employed in this well-crafted high-intensity rollercoaster that masterfully softens the bold darkness with effective comedic undertones.
The characters have agreed to hold a "safari party", a common type of dinner party in the UK, where each course is served at a different house. Hors d'oeuvres are served at the home of the young Shellmedine brothers, a pair of quintessential bachelors with English wit, charm, and grand schemes to impress the neighbors and their pretty young daughter. Lol and Esther, a pair that makes even Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia seem laid-back, provide the entrée in their upscale country cottage. But the crème-de-la-crème remains dessert at Igna's, a sweet old antiques dealer with a wicked secret. These three households are not just linked by social standings, but by the significance of an old wood table, which plays the central part of this dark comedy. PST invites the audience to not only see and hear the show, but smell, taste and touch as well.

Construction
Construction on the set is well under way and we're getting very excited! Unfortunately we have been relegated to the 1800's. Won't somebody buy us a drill?
