PUSH Encore Performance in the Jewish Community Center's Hart Theatre
PUSH Physical Theatre in Encore Performance JCC Hosts “Amazing Troupe” in June
Rochester, NY – PUSH Physical Theatre will perform in the Jewish Community Center’s Hart Theatre.
At its recent Geva TheatreFest run (February 8 – 17), PUSH Physical Theatre had to turn away a large number of potential audience members due to sold-out shows. “It’s a wonderful problem to have, of course,” admits PUSH Co-Founder and Co-Director Darren Stevenson, “but we also felt that we disappointed people who were sincerely interested in seeing what PUSH is all about.”
Enter the Jewish Community Center (JCC), which offered the performance group its 288-seat Hart Theatre as a venue. “I was so impressed with PUSH when I saw them during TheatreFest,” says JCC CenterStage Director Ralph Meranto. “I think that more people should see this amazing troupe, and I’m very pleased that the JCC can help make that happen.”
PUSH Physical Theatre will present what is basically an encore performance of its Geva TheatreFest program, which included the world premiere of “—abled.” The program will again feature PUSH audience favorites such as “The Soldier” and “The Visit” as well.
Founded in Rochester in 2000 by husband-and-wife team, Darren and Heather Stevenson, PUSH Physical Theatre represents the couple’s desire to push the boundaries of conventional theatre. The company’s gravity-defying work has been called “a cross between fine art sculpture and the hit movie, The Matrix,” but PUSH’s ability to tell touchingly human stories through movement and mime is what truly sets it apart.
