SHOWS OPENING THIS WEEK A Delicate Ship In Bed With Roy Cohn SHOWS CLOSING THIS WEEK Shakespeare's Presidential Primary NEO POLITICAL COWGIRLS COME TO NYC 'EVE' COMES TO NYC Neo-Political Cowgirls, under the direction of Kate Mueth, is bringing their acclaimed interactive, theatrical production "EVE" to The Gym at Judson. EVE is a music-art-dance theater immersive performance about a "perfect woman" newly created by the mad "Maker" in a world already rife with experiences and history.  Set loose with a companion, "Man," the audience moves freely through multiple rooms, watching her story unfold through music, movement and art -- minus the fourth wall –bringing us more intimately into the various personal moments of Eve's experiences.  Called "unapologetically sensual" and "brilliantly stunning," EVE is a moving human tale filled with stunning visuals, physical artistry, humor and joyful resurrection.   GET TICKETS PLAY DATES: LAST CHANCE TO RSVP LAST DAY TO RSVP!
