NOW REPEAT IN STEINESE
Four Gertrude Stein productions with four glasses of wine
A Winestein…it’s for real!
EVERY TUESDAY IN JUNE AT 7:30PM
(June 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29)
AT UNDER ST. MARKS THEATER IN THE EAST VILLAGE
Producers Drew Pisarra and Andrew Frank herewith announce Now Repeat in Steinese, an evening of Gertrude Stein at Under St. Marks Theatre at 94 St. Marks Place, between First Ave. and Ave. A.
Drawing upon Ms. Stein’s reputation for repetition, Now Repeat in Steinese is actually four productions of her early enigmatic one-act “White Wines” paired with four different white wines. Fruity? Dry? Acidic? Sweet? Now Repeat in Steinese has you covered both as a play and a beverage.

is a place to use type writing. Shall we go home.”
