I ♥ BOB

Inspired by the films City Lights and An American In Paris, NYC’s Drama Desk-nominated Parallel Exit premieres an evening-length comic ballet following the story of two desperately lonely characters attempting to connect within the speed and chaos of 21st century New York.  Created by director Mark Lonergan, choreographer Ray Hesselink, and composer Wayne Barker, featuring a live original score.

Zora Returns

The second production is the one women show Zora Returns, capturing the life and times of the legendary Zora Neale Hurston; written by Laurence Holder; performed by Antonia Badon. The scene opens with a young woman resembling a child who hasn’t quite overcome adolescence, but who develops a keen interest to attain an education in lieu of the racial disparities that plagued African Americans. Witness the past, the present, and the future of a writer who helped transform Harlem’s economic structure with the launching of the first black literary work “Fire.”
