SUMMARY:The Recursion of a Moth
DESCRIPTION:A story about time\, memory\, diaspora\, and the futures we dare to imagine\, can we break the cycles we are born into\, or are we destined to repeat them? \n\n\nOn the Moon\, Icarus dreams of soup. Across the ocean\, Mikey dreams of war. At Purdue\, Chrys dreams of a yellow house. In a future where time travel has become as mundane as bureaucracy\, three descendants of a diaspora try to find a corner in the universe to call home. When their efforts threaten to change the events of a predetermined timeline\, they must find a way to break their destructive\, cyclical realities; or face the violent\, memory-destroying consequences of the Reset. \nWritten by Brandon Zang\, directed by Seonjae Kim and produced by Cellunova Productions \n\n\n🎟️ Tickets are now on Early Bird Sale via LINK IN BIO!

SUMMARY:One-Night-Only Reading of SANCTUARY CITY
DESCRIPTION:Producers Level Forward and Colt Coeur have announced a one-night-only benefit reading of Pulitzer Prize winner Martyna Majok’s Sanctuary City starring Lola Tung (“The Summer I Turned Pretty\,” Hadestown)\, Daniel Bravo Hernández (Romeo and Juliet) and Kyle Beltran (“American Rust\,” A Case for the Existence of God). The October 9 reading\, to be directed by Caitlin Sullivan\, will benefit RAICES\, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that promotes migrant justice for immigrant\, refugee and asylum-seeking people and families. The reading will be performed at New York Theatre Workshop\, the original producer of the premiere production in 2020. \nSanctuary City takes place in a post-9/11 Newark\, NJ\, where two teenagers who were brought to the United States as children become one another’s sanctuaries. When G becomes naturalized\, she and B hatch a plan to marry so that he may legally remain in the country and pursue the future he imagines for his life. But as time hurtles on and complications mount\, the young friends find that this act challenges and fractures the closest relationship either has ever had. \nProceeds from the evening will benefit RAICES\, supporting their legal and social services work and cultivating welcoming communities that uphold collective democratic freedom. Tickets start at $79.

SUMMARY:Juliet & Jul-Yingtai
DESCRIPTION:Juliet & Jul-Yingtai  \nWritten by Wisteria Deng\, Directed by Sissi Chen \n“She carries it on her back first\, but it strains her neck.\nKicking it forward hurts her legs\, and it screeches too.\nWhen loaded on her arms\, it presses into old wounds.\nNow she tries hugging it\, shifting forward in tiny shuffles.\nBut when it grows bigger\, she can no longer see the road.” \nGenerations of women have sought a room of one’s own. It is a small yet powerful ask — with a room\, one can dream. But what if a room is not enough? We need a stage of our own — a world of our own. In our world\, we define power on our terms. 我们创造自己的游戏。 \nJuliet & Jul-Yingtai is a world of our own. Here\, one does not conquer through violent fits. Instead\, we take root in the deep earth. Come spring\, we offer shades to each other\, leaves holding hands\, ushering in the next season. Here\, power lives in the memory. Always an uphill battle\, remembrance is a statement of resistance\, a decision to stay true to oneself\, and an expression of tender\, endless love. \nUltimately\, this is a story of love — of how women love. We have been taught to love as mothers\, daughters\, wives\, sisters. But when was the last time someone taught us to love ourselves? To love someone the way we love ourselves? Our body is not an apology. Our memory is not a curse. Our love is not a weakness. We invite you into this world of our own. In the next hour\, experience the power of an ancient Goddess\, the act of choosing to remember\, the journey of women learning to love one another\, then — against all odds — learning to love themselves.
