New York, NY (April 29, 2022) – An inside look at the inaugural Boundless Tuesdays installation series. Boundless Theater (A Stage Without Borders) presents the play Eleanor Rigby Is Waiting by award-winning author David James Parr and live music performance from singer-songwriter Hadiza Dockeray and her band. The video features interviews with the playwright and director David James Parr; the Eleanor Rigby Is Waiting cast; special ambassadors of the project Grammy Winner & Tony Nominee Jenn Colella; actor & transgender activist Pooya Mohseni and Tommaso Cartia of Creative Point-On, producer of Boundless Theater. Video is now available for download here.
The final two performances of the kaleidoscopic romantic comedy-drama Eleanor Rigby is Waiting, written by award-winning author David James Parr, presented as the chapter The Closure Experience, will take place May 3rd and 10th at 6:30pm at The Duplex Cabaret Theatre Space (61 Christopher Street).
This unique theatrical concept, presented as a boundless experience combined with an evocative live music performance by singer-songwriter Hadiza Dockeray and her band, invites the audience each night on a unique date with surprising characters and one chance to connect with an array of strangers, played by a group of versatile powerhouse actors in an interconnected portrait of love, lust and longing in our modern world.
Eleanor Rigby is Waiting (24 strangers. 24 hours. 1 chance to connect) is a kaleidoscopic romantic comedy-drama consisting of a mosaic of interconnected vignettes, exploring different shades of human emotion. The show was initially inspired by the lyrics of the popular song by The Beatles: “Ah, look at all the lonely people. Where did they all come from?” Edward Albee famously got his cryptic title for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? from a bathroom mirror in a West Village restaurant where these words were scrawled. A central character in Parr’s play similarly sees the phrase Eleanor Rigby Is Waiting written in lipstick on a bathroom mirror and begins to ruminate about its origin. Is it about loneliness? Is it about hope? And how long, exactly, can you keep a person waiting before they break?
The cast for Eleanor Rigby is Waiting features Elizabeth A. Bell, Robert Driemeyer, Helen Farmer, Wyatt Fenner, Jamie Johnson, Joe MacDougall, Julie McKay, Shelly Ramoni, and Ashley Kristeen Vega.
Hadiza Dockeray’s band features David Pearl (Music Director/Piano/Keyboards), Jason DiMatteo (Bass), Jarrett Walser (Drums), and John Morrison (Guitar).
Boundless Tuesdays will play The Duplex Cabaret Theatre Space (61 Christopher Street). Chapter One: Electricity will take place on Tuesday, April 19 and April 26, at 6:30pm. Chapter Two: The Closure Experience will take place on Tuesday, May 3 and May 10 at 6:30pm. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door, with a two-drink minimum per guest.

ABOUT BOUNDLESS THEATER
Boundless Theater (A Stage Without Borders), is an original concept created and produced by Daniela Pavan & Tommaso Cartia, founders of NYC-based storytelling platform & multimedia production boutique Creative Point-On, in collaboration with award-winning playwright David James Parr. Our mission is to return the spotlight to the underground scene of the performing arts by presenting exclusively curated, boutique performances from indie playwrights, actors, musicians, and dancers in unconventional spaces starting from NYC’s Speakeasy-styled cabaret locations.
Our project invites the audience to go back to that communal, visceral, and magical rituality of live theater that can profoundly transform consciences. And we are all reminded of the importance of this tradition now more than ever after we've witnessed how dramatically the global pandemic impacted the performing arts, as the curtains fell on stages all over the world almost indefinitely.
Now that we are gradually re-emerging from the emergency and we are seeing our cities and the community of the performing arts rebounding, Boundless Theater aims to go back to the origins of the theater experience. We are inspired by the experimental, avant-garde movements of theater, music and ballet that in the post-war era pushed the boundaries and inspired innovation shaping what we conceive as modern entertainment today.
BOUNDLESS THEATER MANIFESTO
“Welcome to Boundless Theater, a safe space where imagination makes the creative soul quiver and muses turn humans into dreamers. This stage tonight is for us, for all of us who have been locked down for too long in a still life trembling for motion, for emotions. Tonight, we are boundless, limitless, fearless. Tonight, let’s speak-easy, let’s breathe easy, let’s sing easy, let’s dance easy, let’s embrace each other, easily. Let’s live dreams and let’s dream of lives…” (Tommaso Cartia)
