News: NY Theatre Artists for Ukraine Present 12 Hours of Online Screenings April 16

The New York theater community will come together for 12 hours on Saturday, April 16, 2022 from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM for 24 online readings and conversations on www.HowlRound.com. Artists will share their outrage at the bombing of the Donetsk Drama Theater Mariupol, where 300 people died while seeking shelter in a space that is sacred to all.

Using the words of playwrights, poets, and novelists the artists will express and share their deep sorrow in response to this shocking and devastating tragedy. By showing empathy and compassion, they will let the world know that the New York theater community cares deeply about the victims, survivors, and families of the Mariupol catastrophe and that Ukraine is on our minds. This is not a fundraiser. It is anticipated that listeners from over 20 countries will tune in, and the national Public Broadcasting Station of Ukraine will live-stream the gathering for all Ukrainians.
