Members of Steinhardt Community to be Featured in New York City International Fringe Festival

Two members of the Steinhardt community will be featured this month in the 2008 New York International Fringe Festival.

Joe Salvatore, artistic director of the Shakespeare Initiative and faculty member of the Educational Theatre Program at NYU, will act in his own play, III. Based on true events, the play outlines the complex homosexual relationship between the photographer George Platt Lynes and one of the great artistic couples of the 20th century: writer Glenway Wescott and MoMA curator Monroe Wheeler. Already gaining great reviews, III has been featured in Time Out New York, and Gay City News. 

For information on showtimes and tickets, please visit the III website here.

Pietro Gonzalez, a 2006 graduate of the Educational Theatre program, will also be performing in this year's Fringe Festival. Gonzalez will join cast members of the LaMicro Theater in the production of Edgar Chias' On Insomnia and Midnight, a play focusing on the pleasure and power struggles between a chambermaid, hotel guest and two strangers.
