“Our original truncated “Proof
of Concept” version debuted at
the first official Jersey Fringe Fes-

developed a narrative, completed
filming, and loaded all the special
effects equipment we could fit
into the backroom of a local art
studio,” Eagle Theatre Artistic Di-
rector Ted Wioncek III said.
The first incarnation of NOIR:
The 3D/4D Semi-Cinematic Satir-
ical Thriller received immediate
praise and attention from creatives
and critics alike.
“Lines formed outside the
venue and wrapped around the
block, while additional perform-
ances were added. It was clear to
see this “Proof of Concept” was proof enough,” producing director
Ed Corsi said.
This fall, NOIR: The 3D/4D

Eagle Theatre. The backstage
warehouse of the theatre has been
transformed into a green screen
film set, while interactive special
effects have undergone intense re-
search and development. In addi-
tion,
NOIR:
The
3D/4D
Semi-Cinematic Satirical Thriller
is a one-man show, starring
comedic stage veteran, Tim Rine-
hart.
Rinehart stars inmore than 10
roles, interacting with himself on-
stage and on-screen throughout
the entire comedic tour de force.
“We’ve put the individual in the
center of the action. No longer
will you watch entertainment…
you’ll live it. ‘Theme Park The-
ater’ is for everyone,” Wioncek
said.
This program is made possible
by funds from the New Jersey De-
partment of State, Division of
