Mt. Tremper Arts Event

Mount Tremper Arts and The Golden Notebook are pleased to present a work-in-progress reading, of "Leaving" by playwright and performance artist Mike Taylor.

It becomes clear to the people at a bar that the Puerto Rican woman buying them drinks all afternoon is Jesus and that every story they tell somehow contains another story and then another.... Can they take advantage of this opportunity to get personal with the Lord, or will they waste their time with God rationalizing and examining their own dissatisfaction?

Mike Taylor writes, directs and produces video, audio, theater and art installations. Taylor’s theatre and multimedia shows in New York City include not knowing, (The Kitchen), The Sadness of Others, (La Mama) Not Dead Yet, (La Mama), If I Were You, (The Kitchen), no lies (PS122) and Pegleg! Or, The Treacherous Journey ‘Round The Horn, (Little Theatre @ TONIC.)

She is currently working with performer and designer Kaylyn Kilkuskie on a nomadic performance of The Literary Oracle, which will be making a public appearance at Chashama’s Benefit Gala in June. A book based on her play not knowing was published by Ugly Duckling Presse as part of their Emergency Playscripts series. Taylor’s ongoing Art as Experience project, This is What Happened, a dream remix, was recently collected and mixed as an audio event at the New York Public Library with stories collected from library patrons. Its previous iteration was at Mount Tremper Arts, with collaborating participants from in and around Woodstock, NY.
