::ELISA BLYNN’S PRESS TO DATE::

THE NEW YORK PREMIERE OF

EIGHT WAYS TO MEET YOUR NEIGHBOR

Written and Directed by William Kevin McCauley

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: EXTENDED RUN

Starring Elisa Blynn. Featuring Amie Sanborn, Neil Howard, and Kyle Minshew

“…a streamlined and surprisingly seductive experience.”

- BackStage New York

“...with an edge of robotic madness and a hint of weird glee, Elisa Blynn works herself into a

delightfully silly frenzy as Harriet in “Eight Ways To Meet Your Neighbor.”

- BackStage New York

"You've got to see this crazy woman with her rubber face, her rubber body, and her rubber soul tear up the stage . . . this is a star!"

- Art Monthly, New York

"Best of all were Blynn’s instantaneous switches from natural motion to puppet animation, statue stillness, or rag-doll compliance...a highly stylized and disciplined type of comic genius"

- NY Times Reader’s Review

:more people and press bits:

“Her work is like a laser, precise and passionate. Elisa Blynn is ideal for my work. She turns the microscopic into epic.”

- Mark Greenfield, Artistic Director Faux-Real Theater Company

“When Elisa showed up, she took the entire thing to a whole other level. “

- Neil Howard, Co-star - “Eight Ways to Meet Your Neighbor”

“Elisa Blynn's” portrayal of a high-strung Stepford wife who short-circuits is fetching. A bravura performance that whiplashes the audience for a hilarious tailspin.”

- Offoffonline.com “Three Dollar Bill: The Welcome Mask”

“Just walking down the street. Sinewy. She could give Bill Irwin a run for his money.”

- Sam Rockwell, Actor

"Elisa Blynn's antics are like a chain reaction: every line is a high-energy particle with an

explosive payoff."

- NYTheater.com
