“Ten Days in the Capsule”

It all started, as some of the best stories do, with a Craigslist advertisement.  Zach Webber and Ellie Brown embarked on what they called a capsule relationship: meeting, courting, marrying, having a child and divorcing in the space of less than two weeks.  Though fictional at its core, the performance blends into real life–kind of a reverse-method-acting or method living?–resulting in real emotional attachments:

Ellie Brown will share photos and writings about her conceptual relationship at the Salon on July 8th.  You can read about her experiences and the project more broadly here.

Brown will be joined by these three incredible memoir and documentary artists for one night only!

The Salon takes place at the Laurie Beechman Cabaret (601 S. Broad St. in the Philadelphia Arts Bank) on July 8th and runs from 7:3opm to 9:30pm.
Admission is $8, seating is limited, and we typically sell out.
