Dance Performance | Romeo and Juliet: Ballet (virtual, streaming for 24 hours)


Two young lovers, offspring of the feuding Montague and Capulet families, value feelings above the past, pitting love and forgiveness against hatred and revenge. Upon his return from exile in 1936, Sergei Prokofiev transformed Shakespeare’s famous tragedy into a ballet with a happy ending. Soviet cultural officials did not agree, so Romeo and Juliet went on dying as before. In his Warsaw staging, Krzysztof Pastor relocates the action to the Italy of the 1930s, 1950s and 1990s respectively – proving yet again the timeless nature of this tragic story. Performed by Polish National Ballet.

Play | Pen/Man/Ship: Broadway Actors in a Period Drama (virtual)


1896. When Ruby, a young Black woman fleeing the American South, boards a ship bound for Liberia, she finds herself at odds with her companion’s domineering, God-fearing father and his mysterious expedition. Unwilling to sit passively below deck, she befriends the crew, becoming entangled in a mutinous uprising that threatens them all. Performed live with breakthrough technology and expansive visuals that put the audience aboard the troubled vessel, pen/man/ship is a heart-pounding story of truth-seeking at all cost and a powerful reminder of the dangerous limits of self-righteousness. Written by Christina Anderson (Playwrights Horizons, The Public Theatre, Yale Repertory Theatre) Directed by Lucie Tiberghien The cast features Lucille Lortel Award winner Crystal Lucas-Perry (A Bright Room Called Day at the Public Theater), Kevin Mambo ("Marvel's Luke Cage" on Netflix, Fela in Broadway's Fela!), Jared McNeill (HBO's "We Are Who We Are," Battlefield at BAM) and Postell Pringle (Broadway's A Free Man of Color, FX's "Rescue Me").

Film | Plastic Bag Store: Theatrical Piece on Plastic Waste (virtual)


Robin Frohardt’s Plastic Bag Store is an immersive puppet-theater piece designed to take place in a storefront retail space. It transforms from an installation into a dynamic series of stories that traverse ancient history, the present day and a future dystopia. A tragicomic ode to the foreverness of plastic, Plastic Bag Store employs inventive puppetry, humor, craft and a critical lens to explore how the hordes of plastic waste we’re leaving behind might be misinterpreted by future generations.
