Event Description:
GRP is pleased as punch to announce the debut of our radio performance serial “This Sweaty City” in a live performance.
The pilot episode of “This Sweaty City” was written by GRP members Chris Kaminstein, Shannon Flaherty, and Will Bowling. The first episode includes the voices of over 15 local performers including Andy Vaught, AJ Allegra, Ian Hoch, Nick Slie, Dylan Hunter, Molly Ruben-Long, Donald Lewis, Jen Pagan, Owen Ever, Shannon Flaherty, Will Bowling, and Chris Kaminstein.
The performance will coincide with the release of GRP’s debut podcast episode.
City’s plot is a magical realist story about the inhabitants of a water-laden city, eerily similar to our dear crescent, in which bicycles have personalities and bureaucratic offices operate on moving steamboats. Audiences will follow the sweaty city’s inhabitants through 12 episodes over three years.
“This Sweaty City” is a two-pronged project: 1) a 12-part live performance series and 2) 12 episodic podcasts. GRP will release new produce new episodes for podcast and live performance 4 times a year.
