Hope You Get To Eleven or What are we going to do about Sally? is a solo show on the topic of suicide, written and performed by Padraic Lillis and directed by Scott Illingworth. The show is a very personal sharing of the ways of the mind, techniques for survival, and an invitation to talk about an issue that if left unspoken is deadly

Awarded Best Solo Show at Planet Connections Festivity and The Planet Advocate Award for raising awareness and funds for suicide prevention.

“It felt like all of the collective suicidal thoughts that had ever entered the audience’s heads came to sit alongside us in the theatre, right next to the ghosts of loved ones who had chosen to exit this life at their own hands. We were immersed in the temporary nature of existence, and it felt cathartic to have the storyteller say out loud our ruminations and impossible questions on choosing to leave our lives too soon. It is a brave work. It’s scary and necessary. It will certainly go down on my list of “Perfect Moments.” –NYTheatreguide

“Hope You Get to Eleven is an emotionally driven solo piece that discusses things that can be hard to admit. Inspired by his own story, Lillis smartly doesn’t tip toe around the subject. He brings dry humor to balance the gravitas. And there is a hell of a lot of gravitas in this play.”

Stable Cable Lab Co. is a non-profit organization that strives to create an environment for new work  and theater artists to flourish.  We do this through developmental readings and workshops, ensemble laboratories and training, and productions.  We are dedicated to producing new plays that are intrinsically theatrical, ensemble-driven and bold.

The Farm Theater is a non-profit organization, whose name is inspired by the ‘farm’ system of baseball, that cultivates early career theater artists through workshops, productions, and mentoring. 

IRT Theater is a grassroots laboratory for independent theater and performance in New York City, providing space and support to a new generation of artists. Tucked away in the old Archive Building in Greenwich Village,  IRT’s mission is to build a community of emerging and established artists by creating a home for the development and presentation of new work. Some of the artists we have supported include Young Jean Lee, Reggie Watts and Mike Daisey.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, New York State Council on the Arts, and The Nancy Quinn Fund, a project of ART-NY.
