In NYC: saw LAByrinth Theater Company's "Jesus Hopped the A Train" 
written by Stephen Adly Guirgis, directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman, now 
playing at Center Stage (48 W. 21 St btwn 5th + 6th), ... awesome, 
stunning, and so much more.  I must say that it seems that this work is 
nearer to refreshingly pure theatre in a certain way.  The sum of its 
performance, narrative, design and themes fairly make an autonomous 
creation that could not be film, video, or internet content.  I would 
not hesitate to recommend "Jesus Hopped the A Train" to anyone, but I 
emphatically suggest that theatre makers go see it.  Tickets are very 
hard to come by, call 212-929-2228.

Also, I believe that "Deli Dances" are nigh.  This is a series of 
performances, mostly in the dance/movement theatre genre, in Times 
Square in a space that was once a deli, during lunchtime and free to the 
public.  I think that they did one yesterday in the Times Square subway 
station.  These new and highly original pieces are usual pretty wild and 
rather short.  Persons who are particularly interested in innovative 
ways of bring theatre to the people should check out "Deli Dances."
