HATE/LAB PRESENTS: THE NEW CNN 

"Cowboys are haunted by a mysterious man". This new play by Steak Richardson explores language and identity through abstraction, repetition, and cowboys. A muse on the modern western man. Inspired by the works of Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, and William S. Burroughs. But don't worry. It's not too heady. It's the New CNN. 

The play stars Danny Turek, Hannah Tymosko, Jake Flum, Joseph Bryant, Donaldson, and Sharkey. 

Written and Directed by Steak Richardson
