May 2004 workshop of The New Life
NYC's Praxis Theatre Project presents six workshop performances of Bob's newest, The New Life. Set 125 years hence, it's a wild ride of a play where immortality, Italian poetry, terror, and the emergent intelligence of networks interfold DNA-like into the noir classic D.O.A. The New Life was developed over a course of meetings arranged by Praxis directly between Bob and the actors who are performing it. Workshops were presented script-in-hand and the play was still very mutable from night-to-night. At the Actors Institute, 159 West 25th Street, NYC 

March 2004
Bob's new play The New Life, developed with Praxis Theatre Project as their Genesis 2004 new play, had an open rehearsal Friday, March 12 at Champion Studios, 257 West 39th St., NYC, 7:30 PM. A further open reading and two-week workshop production are in the works. If you want to attend, you must send an email to me (bobjudeferrante@gmail.com) as seating is very limited. Get on the mailing list and we'll email the info to you.
