ICS Season 11 Impact Report Final - Flipbook - Page 5
The third production of the season marked a milestone with our
inaugural collaboration with Outfront Theatre in Atlanta. Titled "I
Wanna F@#king Tear You Apart," the show initially premiered in
Atlanta before moving to Island City Stage for a 5-week run. Regrettably, the production failed to resonate with our audience, potentially
influenced by our typical demographic, which tends to skew older.
Audience members, for the most part, felt that the show did not align
well with our usual standards, leading to consistently low ticket sales
throughout its run. In consideration of the adage "you are only as
good as your last production," we opted to conclude the show one
week ahead of schedule.
Next, we presented "Tracy Jones" as part of a rolling world premiere
in collaboration with the National New Play Network. Tracy, the
protagonist, embarks on an unusual quest to host a party for individuals named Tracy Jones, driven by a profound sense of loneliness.
Despite commendable performances by the actors, the production
failed to strike a chord with our core audience, resulting in sales
below our initial expectations.
