Erin Markey

Performance artist Erin Markey (NYC) will develop A Ride On The Irish Cream, a darkly psychedelic comedy set in a fantastical backyard on a cold blue river. An original score, performed live by a four-piece band, creates the playing space for the thrills and terrors of the relationship between a vainglorious self-made princess and her family's pontoon boat/horse. 

Erin Markey received generous support from NYPAC, the New York Performance Artists Collective, for the development of A Ride On The Irish Cream.
