An Epic Livetronica Evening at Brooklyn Mirage with Sector 9! Sector 9 delivered an amazing collective (part DJ set, part live performance) at the Brooklyn Mirage for their Apo11o tour, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. Brooklyn Mirage was the perfect backdrop for the space exploration themed event. They were joined by the very talented and unique: Orchard Lounge, Cut Chemist and Mark Farina. With each new set the night manifested into a deeper and trippier experience. An eclectic crowd mused from room to room vibing on the livetronic beats until the early morning.

The play brings together Greta (Golden Globe nominee Marilu Henner), a longtime ACLU donor on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and Tanner (Emmy nominee Shannon Purser), the young representative sent to secure a substantial contribution. While initially united by progressive values, their conversation quickly exposes a widening generational and ideological rift.

Henner and Purser deliver performances that keep an ideological debate grounded in recognizable human emotion.
