Jody Oberfelder Projects

We’re showing 8 minutes of our new work Living Room

Performers: Mariah Anton, Andi Farley Shimota, Jody Oberfelder, Caleb Patterson, Wednesday, June 3rd, 6:30-7:30, The Coffee House Club, 3 West 51st St.

Tickets. (It’s free)

Our performance is a part a very lively program celebrating an arts and culture magazine called “This Week in New York.”Also on the program is theater director, Sara Farrington; she has a podcast called “Theater is Hard” and will do a reading, and a brilliant pianist Harriet Stubbs.  There’s a dinner you can attend afterwards if you’d like to do some fun NYC thing. The space is truly cool—It’s the former home of Andrew Carnegie, and later a private club organized by a woman from the suffrage movement (Henrietta Wells!)
