THE HOUSE THAT WILL NOT STAND • It is 24 hours before the Yankees are taking over New Orleans. They have much more draconian rules than the French and so the black community has to prepare for the possibility that its freedom will be taken away. • A woman can become a placage of a white man - which means she is above a slave but below a legal wife. What will they choose? • 🗨 FAVORITE QUOTES: ⚪"Look at the bright side, you'll get to see him when you die!" ⚪"Your mother loves you, she just has hateful ways of showing it". ⚪-"Did you smile back?" -"Of course not, I'm Christian, I want him to suffer". • 📝Play by Marcus Gradley 🎯Directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz • @nytw79 #housenytw #lileanablaincruz #neworleans #plantations #slavery #slaverystillexists #offbroadway #nyctheatre #theaternerd #nightout #womenempowerment #womenintheatre #womeninshowbiz #napoleon #yankees #civilwar #herstory #blm #blacklivesmatter
LOG CABIN🏠👩‍👩‍👦🍼👶 • The most usual looking NYC apartment: Ikea corner sofa, one exposed brick wall, red "statement peace" in the entrance, small kitchen because we order out anyway, "mother in law" plant because it doesn't need a lot of attention. One thing is unusual - there are books floor to ceiling in one corner + ladder. • As the play unfolds we find out that the characters, 2 lesbians, 2 gay guys, 1 transgender man, want what all "straight" people have - bad marriages, kids and outdoor deck. • 🗨FAVORITE QUOTES: ⚪"He was cooking out of a Yemenite cook book, or was it Palestinian? Arr.. at some point it's all hummus" ⚪"For better or wors except when Idris Elba is in town" • 📝Play by Jordan Harrison 🎯Directed by Pan MacKinnon • @phnyc #playwrightshorizons #jordanharrison #pammackinnon #logcabin #offbroadway #nyctheatre #theaternerd #theaternight #lgbtq #transgenderrights #matinee #pride
FAIRVIEW 📻⏯🎂🎈 • This is Caryl Churchill on staroids. Starts off as a nice family getting ready to celebrate Mama's birthday but then everything goes wrong. And by "wrong" I don't mean burnt birthday cake although that happens too. I mean white privilege, racism, and some more privileges of all kind. This show doesn't allow you to breath until the last word is said. • 🗨FAVORITE QUOTES: ⚪Why do you always have to be the way you are? ⚪Can I ask all the white people to come up on stage and give us their seats? • 📝 Play by Jackie Sibblies Drury 🎯Directed by Sarah Benson 💃Choreography by Raja Feather Kelly • @sohorep #sohorep #99centsundays #fairviewplay #fairview #whiteprivilege #birthday #familydrama #carylchurchill #nyctheatre #offbroadway #theaternerd #theaternight #brecht #racialjustice #rajafeatherkelly #sarahbenson #jackiesibbliesdrury #nyctheater
PASS OVER ⛹🔫 A modern version of waiting for Godot that rips apart every aspect of racist America. • Moses is ready to lead his people out of the block, or maybe just his friend Kitch for now, but white America wouldn't make it easy on him. • They spend their nights sleeping under a light pole, or pillar of fire if you wish, making up games, joking and starving. • They don't really trust the white fellow that shows up one day, showing them the promised land that they will never enter, and by the end of the play they know why. • 🗨 FAVORITE QUOTE: "Here, take locust! And... what's the other plague... dragons!!!" • 📝 Play by Antoinette Nwandu 🎯 Directed by Danya Taymor • @lctheater #PassOver #passoverplay #lct3 #lincolncenter #offbroadway #theaternerd #theaternight #nyctheatre #guncontrol #blm #blacklivesmatter #resist #moses #letmypeoplego
THE GREAT LEAP 🇨🇳🏀🇺🇸 It is 1989 in SF & Beijing and since "there is no such thing as a friendship game" this is taken very seriously. Also - if your team loses and you happen to be the Chinese coach, you will pay with your life. • 🗨 FAVORITE QUOTES: ⚪-"I'm the best basketball player in Chinatown" -"so? I'm the least circumcised Jew in the Bronx" ⚪"They built the wall, they came up with Pandas, they can do anything" ⚪"IT IS ALWAYS YOUR TURN" • 📸Pic I took during halftime of the show • 📝 Play by Lauren Yee 🎯 Directed by Taibi Magar @atlantictheater @university_of_san_fransisco #china #beijing #offbroadway #thegreatleap #basketball #basketballlovers #communism #1989 #theaternerd #theaternight #sanfrancisco #sanfran
SINGLET 👧🏋👯👊 This is what fringe theater should look like! Two actors moving from one character to another, switching narratives, not sure how they exactly tie in together, don't really care. • There is a strong sense of raw true throughout the play. Two women going through the ups and downs of life: family, self esteem and sex. • 🗨FAVORITE QUOTE: "Your father and I always knew you were so smart!!! We said this girl is smart!!! When you were in the 3rd grade you could read at a 4th grade level!!!!" • 📝 Play by Erin Markey 🎯 Directed by Jordan Fein • @bushwickstarr #brooklyn #nyctheatre #matinee #fridaymood #fridayquotes #fridayvibes #stagelife
FRUIT TRILOGY 🍑🍎🍊 My second Eve Ensler play in a short period of time. In both we were asked to get up and dance towards the end of the play. She wants her audience to celebrate life and celebrate women, who have the ability to bring life to the world, in the most basic and pure way - through moving their bodies. • 🗨FAVORITE QUOTES: ⚪"I confess, I am a really bad prostitute, yes I am very bad at my job" ⚪"Some people go to church, some to a mousque, to a temple. I go to the bathroom" • 📝Play by Eve Ensler 🎯Directed by Mark Rosenblatt • @abingdontheatrecompany @eveensler #offbroadway #fruittrilogy #lucillelorteltheatre #women #dancing #dance #theaternerd #theaternight #nyctheatre #vaginamonologues #fruit #trilogy #actorslife #stage
THIS IS MODERN ART 🖌🚓 Chicago 2010, a group of graffiti artists on a mission to decorate the wall of the new section of the Art Institute's Modern Wing. From the outside. • Is it still graffiti if you can see it hanged on a wall in a museum? What is the definition of modern art? And what's the point of institutionalized art anyway? • 🗨 Favorite quote: -"I didn't go to art school because I couldn't afford a Mac" -"Well I didn't go because I couldn't afford tuition" • 📝Play by Idris Goodwin and Kevin Coval 🎯 Directed by Jessica Burr • @nytw79 @_blessedunrest_ @artinstitutechi #blessesunrest #thisismodernart #nyctheatre #theaternerd #theaternight #nightout #grafitti #grafittiart #chicago #modernart #paint #spraypaintart #2010 #docotheater
Greetings from Cannes! Just attended the screening of Capharnaum by Nadine Labaki who also plays one of the characters. Heartbreaking would be a cliche but really everyone left the theater crying. Reality of poverty, war, homelesslnes and children's marriage in Syria. • 🗨Favorite quote: "I want to sue my parents for giving me life". • #capharnaüm #nadinelabaki #cannesfilmfestival #cannes2018 #filmmaking #filmfestival #syria #civilwar #poverty #childmarriage #premiere @capharnaumthefilm
