About the Author :
The TEAM is a Brooklyn-based ensemble dedicated to creating new work about the experience of living in America today. Once described as “Gertrude Stein meets MTV,” the TEAM's work crashes American history and mythology into modern stories to illuminate the current moment. They combine aggressive athleticism with emotional performances and intellectual rigor, keeping the brain, eyes and heart of the audience constantly stimulated. The company was founded in 2004 by a group of 6 NYU alumni, and has since grown to 13 core members and a continually expanding group of associate artists. They devise plays by examining a wealth of material, ranging from existing texts (fiction, theory, drama, etc.) to images taken from visual art and film, and then combining that research with original writing and staging. To date, they have created and toured 9 works nationally and internationally. The TEAM has performed all over New York (including the Public Theater, PS122, and the Ohio Theatre); nationally (including the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and the A.R.T. in Cambridge); and internationally (including London's National Theatre, Barbican Centre, Almeida Theatre, and Battersea Arts Centre; Edinburgh's Traverse Theatre; Lisbon's Culturgest; the Salzburg Festival; the Perth International Arts Festival; and the Hong Kong Arts Festival). Four-time winners of the Scotsman Fringe First Award, Winner 2011 Edinburgh International Festival Fringe Prize, 2011 Herald Angel, 2008 Edinburgh Total Theatre Award, Best Production Dublin Fringe 2007, and were nominated for the Drama League Award for Outstanding Musical. We were recently cited on 'Best of 2013' lists on 3 continents.

Review :
How stimulating to wake up in the hands of a present-tense theater company who knows what it's doing. One leaves the theatre thrilled by a company so determined to push the boundaries of theatrical possibility. The TEAM bring the past, present, and future in a glorious mélange of jumble and judicious ordering onto the stage at the same time…visionary in concept and execution, this show reminds you of Tony (Angels in America) Kushner and sometimes of Robert (The Dragons' Trilogy) Lepage. The TEAM are theatrical excavators of American culture, American dreams and the American psyche, understanding the intimate connection between past and present, celluloid and reality. The trademark of the TEAM's work is a fierce, endlessly creative willingness to try to understand the stories and the meaning of their own country. And their approach to theatre makes no concessions to any traditional idea of what this art-form should look like… The TEAM is one of the most exciting groups of theatremakers I have ever seen. Their work is at once in-your-face and in-your-heart. They will a kind of zany, heartbreaking fever dream to the stage and their commitment to make compelling, vital work is enormous. Plus they're not afraid to get filthy dirty, hyperventilate, or nearly die.
