Exact Change: Press Coverage in New Haven

NHTC — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 17:02:23 -0400

On Sunday, April 13, 2008, New Haven Theater Company partnered with the Arts Council of Greater New Haven to present Exact Change, a project bringing our improv comedy and Latino children's theater to unsuspecting riders on New Haven public transportation.

For our part, we saw it as a continuation of Meter Theater, bringing non-traditional performances to non-traditional venues—here, the streets of our city.

Here's what the press had to say:

Meter Theater in the New Haven Register

New Haven Register Entertainment Editor Patrick Ferrucci highlights NHTC's Meter Theater in a writeup of Festival of Arts and Ideas Programming. His prediction turned out to be true:

If you're not looking for a spot desperately, this should be entertaining. Heck, even if the actors aren't good (and they'll be good, you know that), there'll definitely be some morons driving by and yelling at the actors to get out of the spot.

Of course the actors are good...

Expanding the Boundaries of Theater

NHTC — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 13:48:46 -0400

UPDATE: WTNH Channel 8 Weatherman Geoff Fox has also blogged us.

A very insightful blog post at the Arts and Ideas website not only describes a performance of Meter Theater, but offers a number of insightful observations about the artistic mission of the project. From the article:

Meter Theater forces you to consider the boundaries of theater and how to expand them. Meter Theater seems to operate on the principle that when restricted--whether physically by the constraints of a parking space, or temporally by the timed meter--art has the greatest potential for freedom and creativity.

We couldn't agree more. Share your thoughts by leaving a comment at the original posting...
