Around the World and back

Editor’s note: A long-time PS122 family member (previous box office manager and performer) asked me to help spread the word on this and I couldn’t be more excited to do so. Not only is this a prime example of collaboration from multiple playwrights stationed around the globe (which I love), but it’s also FREE with wine + cheese to enjoy at the end of it (which I doubly love). Thursday night date, anyone?

The Staged Reading of the Second Annual
Around-the-Globe Chain Play
March 27th, 7pm
@ The Lark Play Development Center
311 West 43rd Street, NYC

Starting and ending in NYC, a play is being written as it travels around the world making 15 stops with playwrights from across the globe. Each playwright will contribute the next one to four pages of text, moving the plot forward from where the previous playwright left off.

Featuring: Charles Browning, Holly Chou, Jamie Effros, JoJo McCabe, Reynaldo Piniella, Patricia Randell, Evan Thompson, and Sarah Todes

Directed by: Sherri Kronfeld

The playwrights include Lisa Kron (USA, NYC), Aditi Kapil (USA, Minneapolis), Nicolas Billon (Canada), Luz Estrada (Colombia), Thomas Sainsbury (New Zealand), Nick Yu (China), Anuvab Pal (India), Oded Liphshiz (Israel), Lily Bevan (United Kingdom), Nina Mitrovic (Croatia), Phillip M Dikotla (South Africa), Amy Conroy (Ireland), Lana Nasser (The Netherlands), Sol Rodríguez Seoane (Argentina), and Chisa Hutchinson (USA, NYC).

The reading will be followed by a World Theatre Day Reception where a number of NYC theatre luminaries will read the International Theatre Institute’s World Theatre Day Message that will be written this year by South African playwright, designer, director, and installation-maker, Brett Bailey.
