TRANSMISSION

Written by Gwydion Suilebhan
Directed by Emerie Snyder
Featuring Thomas Jay Ryan
Performance Dramaturgs: Martine Kei Green-Rogers and Nandita Shenoy

TRANSMISSION is an immersive, participatory sermon on the viral evolution of culture from the radio age to the present. In act one, you’re invited into an intimate atmosphere — think 1930s armchairs and the warmth of a vintage radio — for a sonic mashup of 20th century history and 21st century dangers that’s part jazz, part science lecture, and part ritual invocation. In act two, you’ll discuss what it means to be inundated with narratives in our always-connected, always-sharing culture and explore the desperate need for skepticism and inquiry in a landscape of spin, lies, and out-of-control memes. It’s an antidote for the excesses of the 21st century.

Clean

by Edwin Sánchez
a staged reading directed by Emerie Snyder

featuring:
Jessica Angleskhan, Christian Conn, Tyrone Mitchell Henderson, Carlos Ibarra, Otto Sanchez and Dario Torres

Clean follows six characters’ interwoven stories as they question the utter arbitrariness of love. A 10-year-old boy painfully in love with a Catholic priest; a virgin housewife and world-wise drag queen slowly falling for each other; and a macho father and his angry son, both at a loss for how to reach the women they love.

Reading presented by The Intentional Theatre Group. Baryshnikov Arts Center, NYC, Sept. 2010.
