Our Bar - 2009 - Immersive History , Info & More

Using a different theme each month, Project: Theater invites some of New York's finest theater artists to build roughly ten scenes that could legitimately happen in that bar, that night. Audience members grab a drink, find a seat and watch the stories unfold. With no "fourth wall," OUR BAR is often described as a month’s worth of bar antics artfully shoved into one hour, and like any great night out on the town, each show is unique. As original theater for each thematic evening, the material you see at Our Bar lives and dies in one night.

The OUR BAR crew has offered up increasingly impressive shows every month since November 2009 thanks to the endless supply of stories from New York City’s ever amusing nightlife. Somehow the block of wood that resides between bartender and customer gives strangers permission to open up in surprising and incredible ways. It is this dynamic that is at the heart of every OUR BAR. Blending New Yorkers’ love of bar life, theater and tasty whiskeys, OUR BAR is carving out its own cult following.

BWW Review: Spoleto's Festival Hall Isn't Ideal for THE WOMAN IN BLACK
by Perry Tannenbaum - Jun 8, 2021


Perhaps we can declare that social distancing is as antithetical to telling a gripping ghost story as it is to sustaining a great vibe at a bar or a pub. After a 30-year run in London's West End, where it remains on a pandemic-induced hiatus, THE WOMAN IN BLACK certainly has a pedigree to please. The play, adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from Susan Hill's 1983 novel, is only surpassed by Dame Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap as the longest-running play in West End history.

BWW Review: VINDOBONA OPENING GALA at Das Vindobona
by Martin Ganeider - Oct 30, 2020


A splendid Gala in uncertain times like these, a rare gift. Wolfgang Ebner, the new owner of the culinary Variety Theater and Event Location, formally known as DAS VINDOBONA! The house in Vienna´s 20th District has been a part of Austria's entertainment and cabaret scene since the early '90s. From 2009 the owners of the famous Kabarett Simpl owned the Vindobona for some of their productions. Earlier this year, Wolfgang Ebner made the tough decision to buy the house, refurbish it and transform it into a top-class entertainment and dinner location. The Vindobona is like New York´s Don't Tell Mama, a bar, a restaurant, and a cabaret-like theatre. Ebner is exactly what the theater needs these days. A small chance of success, uncertain times ahead, many would say no and step away from a project like this but not Ebner. Crazy and brave enough to open the house with a varicolored program on the menu. From Dinner shows to Concerts, to Burlesque and Drag shows, magic nights, and many more, something for everyone's taste. Opening Nights are always special, the air is filled with a magical atmosphere, expectations are on a high amount. Since the Big C hit our world and took the theatre from us for quite a long time, we are even more thankful for some live entertainment. Back in the auditorium is like walking into the room at Christmas and facing the illuminated Christmas tree for the very first time. It's theatre, a live performance but of course with some restrictions.
