Original Music and Sound Design by Adrian Bridges in Lyra Theater's production THE RESISTIBLE RISE OF ARTURO UI.

Days before a major election, a low-level campaign worker opens a mysterious envelope. What he discovers transforms his perspective on power and politics in America. In this volatile moment, Lyra Theater's relocated production of THE RESISTIBLE RISE OF ARTURO UI asks what happens when democracy becomes a circus and a nation's imagination runs wild.

In the midst of the political tension surrounding Muslim immigrants and communities, this production will bring the voices of contemporary Muslim girls to the foreground by integrating their personal stories and testimonies into Shakespeare’s text. The core mission of Al’ukhraa, rife with audience participation and Brechtian engagement, is to stir communities to action and involvement in protecting our own NYC students.

The play, directed by Sarah Eismann, tells the tragedy of a Moorish general in the Venetian army, his marriage to Desdemona, a senator’s daughter, and the hysteria and racial paranoia whipped up by Othello’s treacherous servant Iago. Featuring a 4-woman Cast: Sarah Eismann, Julie Orkis, Mouna R'miki, Gareth Tidball and the voices and talents of NYC’s young women. Production Team: Julia Levine (Assistant Director), Tom Spencer (Stage Manager), Niki Afsa (Dramaturg), Josh Fried (Stage Management Intern), Christopher Soprano/Sop-Art Studio (Graphic Design).

A Dream Play is, in the words of the author, a play where “everything is possible and probable, time and space do not exist… The characters split, double, multiply, vanish, solidify, blur, clarify.” I read this play and I fell in love with its ritual nature and its simple, childlike ambiguity of time, place, and character. This is a mean, sad, angry play; but we want to get down to its very bones to find the song of praise - the rain dance - buried there.

Agnes, the daughter of the gods, has come to Earth to discover if being alive is as difficult as human beings make it out to be. Spoiler alert: it definitely is - and human beings have some choice words for those responsible. 

Artilliers' production uses the materials of childhood playmaking - blanket forts, sock puppets, and dress-up trunks - to unearth both the fun and the flame of hope buried in Strindberg's mournful drama.

Featuring: Nik Aliye, Serena Berman*, Trey Fillmore, Michael Galligan, Michael Lorz*, Matthew Minnicino, and Tess Richie.
