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.

Review: Even If You're Too Busy for Death Himself, Make Time for "Shut UP, Emily Dickinson"

Image
Shut UP, Emily Dickinson Written by Tanya O'Debra Directed by Sara Wolkowitz Presented at Abrons Arts Center 466 Grand Street (at Pitt Street), Manhattan, NYC July 28-August 13, 2022 Tanya O’Debra as Emily Dickinson and Gregg Bellón. Photo by Molly Broxton. Not so long ago, television's Dickinson gave us Emily Dickinson the cool, rebellious, queer, feminist teen. Now, the stage at Abrons Arts Center gives us a new Emily Dickinson, and she is…mostly not those things; but neither is she the austere, reclusive genius of other imaginings. In Tanya O'Debra's wickedly funny Shut UP, Emily Dickinson , the poet would be quite happy if everything could just be how she wants it when she wants it that way; and just because she is correct that she should not be forced to conform to others' ideas of things such as love does not mean that she cannot at the same time be exasperating to those others–to be the kind of person, say, who assumes that her wealthy family's laborers

Review: Telling is Power(ful) in Phenomenal Dark Comedy "FUKT"

Image
FUKT Written by Emma Goldman-Sherman Directed by Janice L. Goldberg Presented by B&C Productions and AND Theatre Company in association with The Tank at The Tank 312 W 36th Street, NYC, Manhattan October 27-November 13, 2022 Julia Mack, Bridget Ann White, and Eileen Sugameli. Photo by Valeria Terranova The set design for FUKT is dominated by a large collage on the back wall that, depending on how one looks at it, could suggest either a flower or a wound; the tension between–and perhaps the simultaneity of–these possibilities provides a useful symbol for the show itself, which powerfully mixes sportive comedy and forthright reckonings with cruelty and abuse and filters it all through self-aware play on the conventions of both solo shows and trauma narratives. Written by Emma Goldman-Sherman, FUKT , bending that fourth wall right from–and even before–its opening moments, finds Emma (Bridget Ann White) running into some difficulties on the opening night of her autobiographical one
