Prelude Festival

The Paper Industry will be featured in the 2008 Prelude Festival! We will be performing on September 26th, at the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center at CUNY (some details below, more details to come). We will be workshopping the next step of our new play, “Sine Wave Goodbye” by Jamie Peterson, and are honored to be in the company of so many of New York’s finest (artists, not cops or firemen, though they are great too). Hope you can make it!
