AJAX IN IRAQ Press Photos

Over the weekend, we rose early and shot our press photos for Ajax in Iraq in the suitably collumned confines of Astoria park. My favorite, the one above, is cut in such a way that the blog upload gets a wee but blurry, but we're sharing a few others and some candid shots, as well. Which do you like best?

Our goodly PR rep Emily Owens suggested we juxtapose the Trojan and Iraq war images in the press shot, and so settled on A.J. and Ajax, who mirror each other across time in the play, with Athena (the goddess of the play's action) watching.

We also explored the juxtaposition of contemporary and classic weapons.

Something Isaiah did a great job with is manipulating the light (with some Member helpers) - here Ajax's of what he's done is particularly striking.

Here's another that doesn't upload well, but captures the regret of the moment particularly well.

Now for some candids...with Raushanah giving new meaning to the term, "statuesque".

Christina approached by Matthew "Blood Master" Archambault.

He has a firm grip, for a philosopher.

Sparkle, sparkle! A huge thank you to Judson, Brian, Antoinette, our actors and the amazing packed house who made our 8th Food:Soul of Spectacular Browne so moving. If you were there, please leave your thoughts on the play and event in the comments below; and enjoy these rehearsal shots from our Arnie/Announcer/Foreman extraordinaire, Isaiah Tanenbaum.

Maurice teaches a barely willing Charlie to shoot a basketball (Charlie hopes this will be in exchange for Mo playing Super Star Diva Magic...he may wind up disappointed).

Bad boys, bad boys, what you going to do? What you going to do...when they appear in artsy sepia shot?

It appears Charlie may have been successful in convincing Max to let him sing at the bar.

Offstage focus on what appears to be a very serious scene.

Every good play deserves at least one dream dance sequence...

At this particular Food:Soul, there was no shortage of bread (including some crazy good home made loafs!) So, leave your thoughts below, and see you at the next Food:Soul.
