The Pied Pipers of the Lower East Side
By Derek Ahonen
An extraordinary gathering of young idealists live as a modern day urban tribe above a vegan restaurant in NYC. Billy, Dawn, Dear and Wyatt are an extended sexual family battling their fears and addictions in order to live their utopian dream. The Pied Pipers of the Lower East Side is a celebration of love and the search for human grandness.

"Ahonen has written full, complex characters, and the committed cast approaches them with sincerity and heart. This is exciting work, fresh and refreshing: The Pied Pipers of the Lower East Sidemakes you want to follow the Amoralists wherever they go next."
—Adam Feldman, Time Out New York
"A nearly three-hour dose of high-energy Steppenwolf-style realism. The young company's deep commitment and contagious exuberance brings to mind the vitality that distiguished the early Off-Off Broadway work of artists like Sam Shepard only a generation ago."
-Branden Jacobs Jenkins, The New Yorker
"The play is a perfect whole -- not for a second is the theatrical spell broken. Sends us reeling into the street feeling provoked, enlivened, and even a little bit enlightened."
