Overview
When he was twenty-three, Edgar Oliver found The Pyramid Club in New York City. This long-gone ghost of Avenue A became a home for all artists and outcasts, and the first stage Edgar ever performed on in the city. In the dark recesses of this magic theatre, Edgar found the voice that brought all the sorrow and glory, the solitude and companionship of his early life into the hearts of his audience. The Pyramid Club created the beautiful, heart-broken, and triumphant person he is today.

Reviews
“Edgar Oliver turns memory into a haunted amusement park, full of living shadows, with himself as presiding ghost. His quietly ravishing new performance piece… conjures the heyday of the fabled Pyramid Club. ”
—Ben Brantley, formerly of The New York Times
“…The piece foregrounds Oliver as a particularly gripping storyteller, which he is…The characters swim up to us in Oliver’s vivid recollections… pulling us into (his) world of memory and solitude… This is the best kind of black-box magic.”
—Zachary Stewart, TheaterMania
