the performance series to which no one is invited.

i love that he sends a postcard every month telling the mayor not to come.

it's a big box, inside which a performance occurs, outside of which nothing is known of the performance. it's not really the performance that gets me, but the advertising--the posters this guy prints up and distributes telling people not to show up:

>>Every month he finds a performer and spends about $500 of his own money on the theater rental and for posters and advertising disinviting everyone (the project is recalibrating his relationship with his own money). Artists are loving the privacy and formality of STRIKETHROUGH—the chance to create, rehearse, and produce without the restraint of an audience.

"I really, really needed this," said Marya Sea Kaminski, an actor who was transitioning from performing in a group to producing a one-woman show when she wrote June's STRIKETHROUGH. "I totally rehearsed. I made costumes and a soundtrack. Confronting the fact that it was just for me and just for a theater space actually challenged me not to half-ass it.<<

i actualy performed in this space a few times (the theatre, not the box). it's a nice spot for something like this: in a bar, sort of plush-velvet old school but the opposite of self-important. i'd wander by with a beer in my hand. you bet i would.
