One Day in the Life of Henri Shnuffle

Loomstate is proud to offer our old showroom space (the sunny room right under the old ROGAN store if you recall) to an off-Broadway premiere of One Day in the Life of Henri Shnuffle.  The play highlights the eccentricities in the daily life of an elderly man.  The close quarters of the space lend to a truly immersive experience. You will literally be sitting in Henri's living room as the story unfolds - be open to sampling his dinner or petting his elderly cat that might be weaving around your ankles.

This performance is written and directed by a talented young woman and friend of the brand, Ryan Elizabeth Reid.

We encourage you to descend into Henri's apartment at 54 Bond Street lower level. Performances will be held Thursdays through Sundays at 8pm, with matinees on Saturdays at 2pm, through June 2nd. Pick up tickets in advance. Watch the teaser.

Great Mom of the Plant Kingdom

When you think about great moms, this one we bet sits at the top of your list (that is, if you've heard of it). The Cecropia tree is a standout mom, not just because she carefully plants her seeds in ideal living situations and provides each with the right nutrients for growth. This plant goes beyond her own family to care for other species as well...

Myrmecophytism is a mutualistic relationship formed with ant colonies, where the tree provides food and shelter and the ants protect the tree from herbivores and encroaching vines. These two species have coadapted to each other, meaning that each species has evolved their traits in response to pressures from the other. 

This relationship further proves the importance of caring for the one that cares for you, especially today! Happy Mother's Day to all the great moms! Moms, this is for you - use MOTHEREARTH at checkout today for 25% off your Loomstate purchase.
