Performance | The Queen of Fourteenth Street: An Audio Drama


Legendary theatre artist and queer icon Eva Le Gallienne lives again in THE QUEEN OF FOURTEENTH STREET, an original audio drama by Barrie Kreinik. Come see a live reading by the actors who recorded the audio drama, followed by a Q&A with the writer, actors, and director. In 1926, at the age of 27, Broadway star Eva Le Gallienne left the commercial theatre behind to establish the Civic Repertory Theatre on West Fourteenth Street. With the aim of producing high-quality plays at the lowest possible prices, she served as the Civic Rep’s lead actor, director, and producer for seven years. Behind the scenes, she was openly gay at a time when many queer people still lived in the shadows. In bringing to life the story of this pioneering woman, writer-performer Barrie Kreinik has created an audio drama that reveals as much about our present-day culture as it does about the challenges this powerful artist faced down.

From a sandy shoreline beach with tide pools to a pine grove, pile field and salt marsh, it is also one of the most fascinating sites to learn about local ecology. You’ll have the chance to learn more about these fascinating ecosystems from the River Project team.

Performance | whale fall abyss: Performance Art on the Decomposition of Bodies


Choreographer mayfield brooks' work started virtually as an experimental dance film in 2021 during the height of the Covid-19 epidemic. When Whale Fall (the film) premiered, brooks wrote, “This project was born out of a desire to sit with grief and rage in a world that discards too much and consumes too much. As a result, the bodies of whales and the bodies of Black folk seem to have a kinship in how they have been both targeted, hunted and consumed since the transatlantic slave trade. I have also come to know that some slave ships were used as whaling vessels.” In this present moment of continued environmental destruction caused by war and accelerated global warming, brooks is asking, “What light reaches us? What darkness welcomes the reckoning?”  After four years of rigorous research and numerous iterations, brooks’s ever evolving project continues to decompose itself. This iteration lives as a call to the wild parts of ourselves, a denouement to complacent attitudes towards death and decay. How are we entangled in the ruse of romance with our compulsion to consume and our dependence on war machines? Why do we continue to kill? How can the whale fall reorient us to face our own mortality with more compassion?  brooks considers the whale fall as a reckoning. They imagine their ancestor’s bones mingling with whale bones beckoning us to embrace interspecies care and relation beyond the human. Perhaps we can save the whales, ourselves, and the planet if we simply decompose. Performers: mayfield brooks, performer; Dorothy Carlos, electric cellist; Camilo Restrepo, performer
