Patrick Olson's Emergence Opens Off-Broadway October 25

Musician-scientist Patrick Olson's Emergence: Things Are Not as They Seem officially opens its Off-Broadway run at The Pershing Square Signature Center October 25. The limited run will continue through January 7, 2024.

The work, which Olson describes as a "concert performance," blends art, science, and music in a monologue-rock concert-psychedelic trip featuring an ensemble of musicians, singers, and dancers. The unique experience includes original music, arena-level sound, and bold questions about the human experience and the dividing line between science and art. The New York run follows a sold-out limited engagement in Los Angeles.

Joining Olson are vocalists Cherry Davis, Samara Brown, Miya Bass, and Bella Kosal; musicians Steven Styles, Nadav Hezi, Jordan Coker, and Thomas Nickell; and dancers Summer Sheldrick, Dana Liebezeit, and Lavy Cavaleire.

The creative team includes music producer Mike Avenaim; lighting director Jordan Noltner of Wasted Potential; stylist Angela Aaron; LED visual designers FutureTalk Inc., Jonathon Corbiere, Tyler Sammy, and Wasted Potential's Nick Proctor; associate producer Nadav Hezi; and creative consultants Chloe Lowery and Dina Fanai. Robert Murray and Lisa Dozier Shacket are producing.
