About this project
The dream: a world tour.
The opportunity: a performance for international presenters.
The journey: from New York City to Austin, Texas.
The missing link: you.
Two-time Drama Desk nominee Parallel Exit heads to Austin with EXIT STAGE LEFT - a rollicking speed-of-light comedy for all ages.
Parallel Exit will perform on the final evening of the International Performing Arts for Youth Conference.
This conference offers a select, juried group of artists the opportunity to perform for an audience of international presenters who book shows specifically for young people and their families. The jury has selected Parallel Exit for a special new closing night performance.
This is HUGE!
It will mark Parallel Exit's first opportunity to share EXIT STAGE LEFT with the EXACT people who can book it. It's the first stop towards a tour that could take Parallel Exit around the world for years to come!
Your support will go towards rehearsal costs, transportation and accommodation, promotional materials, and artist fees for the conference.
Your support will help launch a multi-stop international tour.
Your support will help make a dream come true!
EXIT STAGE LEFT - at the International Performing Arts for Youth Conference - Saturday January 21st, State Theatre, Austin, Texas.
Harkening back to the days of vaudeville, EXIT STAGE LEFT packs more entertainment in a single show than a three-ring circus, featuring tap dance, live music, and slapstick comedy.
Parallel Exit’s work is inspired by the films of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. We have received two Drama Desk nominations for Unique Theatrical Experience and a “Spirit of the Fringe” award from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
“They can get laughs simply by breathing.” – The New York Times
“Featuring enough slamming doors, pratfalls, songs, magic tricks, tap-dancing and slapstick to fuel a dozen shows.” – The New York Post
