The Assembly Presents home/sick at the Living Theatre, 11/7-18

Following two sold-out runs, the innovative young company The Assembly Theater Project presents a return engagement of the critically acclaimed production home/sick from November 7-18, 2012 at The Living Theatre, 21 Clinton Street, NYC. Tickets are $18 and can be purchased online at www.brownpapertickets.com or by phone at 1-800-838-3006. Performance schedule is Wednesdays through Fridays at 8pm; Saturdays at 3pm and 8pm; Sunday, November 11 at 7pm; and Sunday, November 18 at 5pm.

Following the November 7 performance, the company will facilitate a talkback about today's political climate with Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, two of the former leaders of the Weather Underground and two riveting figures in American activism.

It is often very easy to think of The Weather Underground as a piece of distant history. The Weathermen parted ways over 30 years ago and the world has changed since. The Cold War is over, the Internet has become essential and disco is (thankfully) dead. But home/sick shows that many of the problems that the Weathermen saw in America still exist today. The struggle goes on.

home/sick is an ensemble-devised work of political theater that examines the actions of the 1960s radical group The Weather Underground without agreement or censure. The leaders of The Weather Underground seized control of Students for a Democratic Society and reshaped it with the aim of overthrowing the U.S. government. Based on real events, home/sick explores the group's idealism, infighting and ultimate disintegration, in a forthright examination of collective action.

home/sick is devised and written collectively by The Assembly and is directed by Jess Chayes. The play features Edward Bauer, Ben Beckley, Kate Benson, Anna Abhau Elliott, Luke Harlan and Emily Louise Perkins. Dramaturgy by Stephen Aubrey. Installation design and dramaturgy is by Nick Benacerraf, with costumes by Deanna Frieman, lighting by Miriam Nilofa Crowe, sound by Asa Wember, and stage managed by Marianne Broome. Choreography is by Sara Pauley. Produced by Ariela Rotenberg.
