| Description Program Srvc Accom | We rehearsed the play "Battle of Angels" by Tennessee Williams and performed for live audiences in NYC in September 2021. (The production followed all COVID safety protocols, with all audience members wearing masks and required to show proof of vaccination.) We began the development of an original devised play, "Exposure". We continued to develop a new play "The Untitled Othello Project" by Keith Hamilton Cobb through a series of workshops and readings, including a residency at Sacred Heart University in CT. All projects were directed by Jessica Burr, involved over 50 artists, and reached several hundred audience members. | DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt |
