Dixon Place Welcomes Susana Cook, 9/9-24

A misunderstood miracle shakes a conservative congregation's values to its core when their beloved pastor becomes the center of a spectacular firestorm that will forever shatter their notions of sex, gender and intercourse between animate beings. A transcendent trans-comedy of errors featuring mad ministers, divine interventions, confused angels and maybe even the antichrist.

Born in Argentina, SUSANA COOK is a NYC-based playwright, director and performer who has been presenting innovative works internationally for over 20 years. She has performed and led workshops in Spain, France, India, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Canada and at several colleges and universities around the United States. Her most recent shows include The Fury of The Gods, Homeland Insecurities, The Idiot King, The Values Horror Show, 100 Years of Attitude, Dykenstein and Hamletango. She has received several fellowships and awards for her work from the New York Foundation for the Arts, Franklin Furnace Archives, Arts International, Astrea Foundation, and INTAR.

Dixon Place is a non-profit organization founded in 1986 to provide a space for literary and performing artists to create and develop new works in front of a live audience. While other venues of its kind have since died off, or now only present established artists, Dixon Place remains at the heart of the New York experimental performance scene. Taking risks is crucial to the life of Dixon Place, its artists and audiences.

Dixon Place's primary commitments are to bring artists and audiences together through live performance in order to expand the understanding of the creative process and its final product, and to provide a supportive environment for emerging artists to present new work. Over the last twenty-five years, Dixon Place has successfully maintained its intimate atmosphere and unique environment while increasing its programming to fulfill the need for performance opportunities for the New York community of performing and literary artists.

THE HOMOPHOBES is commissioned and first presented by Dixon Place with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency, and the City of New York Department of Cultural Affairs; and with private funds from The Peg Santvoord Foundation and the Jerome Foundation.
