As a museum registrar, I subscribe to the Packing, Art handling & Crating Information Network (PACIN). The forum is a great way for art handlers to receive information and pose questions about the many conundrums we encounter in our line of work.

Following up on a recent conversation on the PACIN listserve about what to do with old crates, the artist collective Red 76 has temporarily landed its Anywhere, Anyplace Academy in the Open Field, and they have salvaged our old crates for a higher purpose. This is only the beginning of what they’re building with local collaborators (anyone’s welcome), so check in for more updates!

The show is called "Play Dead," created by Todd Robbins ("Carnival Knowledge") and Teller (of Penn & Teller), opening Off Broadway in New York in November 2010. It’s produced by Alan Schuster ("Stomp"),Cheryl Wiesenfeld ( Steady Rain), and Frank Gero (Steady Rain).

The show is a thriller, a nerve-shattering mood piece, full of shrieks and nervous laughter as the audience is drawn in a haunted world. This is not a typical play, but a theatrical thrill ride — here and now in an "abandoned" theater — in which the audience is surrounded by ghostly sights, sounds, and even touches of the returning dead — all achieved by charming, diabolical storytelling coupled with extraordinary stage illusions.
