Claudia Rankine's The White Card, poses the essential question: Can American society progress if whiteness remains invisible?
Composed of two scenes, the play opens with a dinner party thrown by Virginia and Charles, an influential Manhattan couple, for the up-and-coming artist Charlotte. Their conversation about art and representations of race spirals toward the devastation of Virginia and Charles' intentions. One year later, the second scene brings Charlotte and Charles into the artist's studio, and their confrontation raises both the stakes and the questions of what - and who - is actually on display.
Rankine's The White Card is a moving and revelatory distillation of racial divisions as experienced in the white spaces of the living room, the art gallery, the theater, and the imagination itself.
A meek flower shop clerk, Seymour Krelborn, stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II" - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing, carnivorous perennial promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it. BLOOD! Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out of this world origins and its goal of global domination!
There's been a murder in Oz, and we are definitely not in Kansas anymore. Imagine L. Frank Baum's classic The Wizard of Oz as put through the gritty filter of 1940s film noir, with harsh city streets, grey rainy skies, femmes fatales, tough guys, trench coats, fedoras and plot twists. This is Oz as if it were seen through the eyes of Raymond Chandler. Come see your favorite characters somewhere over the monochrome rainbow.
Before Rent, there was Tick, Tick... BOOM!. This autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning composer of Rent, is the story of a composer and the sacrifices that he made to achieve his big break in theatre. Tick, Tick... BOOM! takes you on the playwright/composer's journey that led to a Broadway blockbuster.
His girlfriend wants to get married and move out of the city, his best friend is making big bucks on Madison Avenue and, yet, Jon is still waiting on tables and trying to write the great American musical. Set in 1990, this compelling story of personal discovery is presented as a rock musical filled with appealing melodies and a unique blend of musical theatre styles.
