State of the Union, a comedy, is the next production of the J.C. Theater Company. Their theater is in the basement of Saint Michael Church on 9th Street, recently the setting of a gallery show during the J.C. Artist Studio Tour, studio being the word most broadly defined for that event. I just liked the juxtaposition of the sign promoting the next show, in-between the sign for the theater and the signfor the church, which are more permanent. Indifferent pedestrians chat on cellphone or just pass by. Prayer above, rehearsals below Can’t get more off off Broadway than 9th Street, but I wonder how far off do you have to go before you dipsense entirely with Broadway and turn into regional theater? It’s not the first sign for the J.C. acting crew, but the previous ones were not as noticeable. They were horizontal banners. Live theater is a vertical medium.
