Premieres Artistic Director Paulette Haupt presents Inner Voices, an evening of three one-act solo musicals including Arlington, Borrowed Dust, and Farhad or The Secret of Being. Opening was last night and BroadwayWorld brings you photo coverage below!
In Arlington, sweet Sara Jane waits for her soldier husband to return from war—where he may have committed a stunning atrocity. After a few too many bourbons, she begins to pose some dangerous questions, as well as reveal some nasty secrets. Arlington tracks one woman’s examination of her conflicted psyche and the slow dawning of a new political consciousness.
In Borrowed Dust, George Richardson has just returned from a trip to his childhood home to claim and bury the body of his younger brother. As he recalls the experience and grapples with the sudden loss, the emotional landmines, the blood ties, and the secrets revealed, we bear witness to his story and his effort to find sense and acceptance.
In Farhad or The Secret of Being, an Afghan girl who was raised as a boy reaches puberty and faces the abrupt changes of womanhood when she is plunged into an arranged marriage. She struggles to adapt to the difficult world women confront in this part of the world as she tries to find ways to surpass limitations and the bondage of her reality.
Inner Voices plays Tuesday through Saturday at 8pm and Saturday and Sunday at 3pm at the 30th Street Theater, 259 West 30th Street. There is no performance on Thanksgiving Day. Inner Voices is scheduled to close on Sunday, December 2. Tickets are $25-30 and may be purchased at SmartTix by phoning 212 868 4444 or visiting www.smarttix.com.
