Back For More, Residency Encore Style

So many Ars Nova artists are on the brink of world domination. They just need a little something extra to get there. Enter Residency Encores, a new series that offers artists a chance to return to Ars Nova to further develop projects with artistic support, all culminating in new shows hot off the presses! Performances from the first three of our Residency Encores are taking place over the next two weeks. Much more about each show below - come witness the rise to power!

Adira Amram Is: An American Idol (Feb 4 and 11)

Just Jump! (Feb 6 and 13)

It was a blast to have Chad Schiro's musical odyssey in ANT Fest 2008, and we can't wait for his high-diving, hard dancing, funky, freaky, yellow-tranny-hooker return (along with amazing performers Francesca Harper and Katrina Yaukey and director Damon Arrington). If His Yellowness isn't enticing enough, you also have Rodney T. Moose up there to look forward to (unmissable moose mating dance at 3:40)! Buy tickets here!


Jeffery Self: People I Slept With Who Never Called Me Back (Feb 7)

Jeffery debuted his ode to reticent hookups here in September (video highlights above), and this time it's sure to be even more uproarious. He might even be tan! Come see this prolific blogger/vlogger, not to mention budding television star take the podium, list of the guilty in hand, and take no prisoners! Buy tickets here!
