11/18/2010- Galapagos Art Space presents:

11.18 at 8p.m-12a.m Join Galapagos Art Space (including 85% of our Harry obsessed staff) as we countdown the evening before the first installment of the LAST ever Harry Potter Movie. We are pulling out all of the super- fan stops and putting on a Hogwarts themed evening like no other. Harry Potter in Critical Context Lecture: Ever wondered how the Harry Potter series stacks up under a critical literary investigation? Ever wished your college lectures could have been a close study of Hermione as feminist heroine ? Ever noticed how they both (almost) end in 'ione'? Interesting...or a coincidence? Do the Weasley twins play the traditional role of the Shakespearian clown? House Team Quiz: You better hope our staff sorting hat doesn't put you on the Slytherin team. The winning house team gets 100 points (or free drinks tickets, your choice). Dramatic Extract Readings: We have recruited some of the most fabulous New York City professional actors and actresses for your listening pleasure, sit back with frothy pint of Butter Beer and listen to dramatic readings of key scenes from each novel. To name a few, Tiffany Abercrombie of the Prospect Park Alliance's production of Henry IV, Lauren Ferebee of the Rebellious Subjects Theatre production of Three Sisters and of the Extant Art's production of Two Gentleman of Verona. Plus! Butter Beer! Costumery! and all with enough time to dash out the doors and catch the 12 o'clock screening of the latest movie! DOORS: 8 | TIX: $5.00
