A
PLAY A DAY KEEPS THE CULTURE BLUES AWAY
Ma-Yi Prepares For Groundbreaking 365 Days/365 Plays August 10
& 11 |
Ma-Yi
Theater Company presents week 39 of Suzan-Lori Park’s groundbreaking
epic, 365 Days/365 Plays on Friday and Saturday, August 10 and 11 at
the Zipper Factory Theater on 37th Street.
Led by directors Nelson Eusebio, Herbert Go and Ralph B. Peña,
Ma-Yi Theater celebrates the work of Ms. Parks and the spirit of 365
Days/365 Plays by inviting community members to share in the process
of art-making. Riffing on the principle of “radical inclusion,”
a proposal to make arts accessible to anyone who wants to participate,
more than 50 performers come together to speak up, sing, shake and make
trouble in Ma-Yi’s portion of the 365 Plays project. Throughout
the short pieces, various languages are spoken, giving English and non-English
speaking audiences a chance to take part.
365 Days/365 Plays began in November 2002 when Suzan-Lori Parks committed
to writing a play a day for the next 365 days. With encouragement from
Bonnie Metzger, the 365 Days/365 Plays National Festival was born. During
the Festival, over 52 theater companies across the country will present
the plays simultaneously, creating the largest collaboration in the
history of American theater. Don't miss your chance to see history in
the making. Performances are free, but tickets are required. To reserve
