The New York Times

"The nonstop news cycle is the subject of Times 365:24:7, and given the frenetic activity onstage, it's apparent that hard news - covering it and consuming it - can be stressful. Though the main focus is on newspapers, this ambitious play, from the troupe Bone Orchard, also puts television news, talk radio and the blogosphere under its feverish scrutiny."

Times 365:24:7
Bone Orchard and The Brick Theater, Inc. presents...
After the critical success of The Stubborn Illusion Of Time, Bone Orchard returns to the Brick Theater with Times 365:24:7, an immersive theatrical experience that simulates the daily bombardment of the news. Through the lens of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the global economic meltdown, and local news stories (developed in collaboration with David Giambusso, freelance reporter for The New York Times and now a staff reporter for The New Jersey Star Ledger), the company explores the relationship of the media to its subjects, creators and audience.
