Theatre for a New Audience
262 Ashland Pl Brooklyn, NY 11217

Why theatre? What is it for? What is it about? Why? takes these questions, and many others, on a journey that is both dramatic and joyful. The piece allows us to discover that we are not alone in asking these questions and that many great theatre practitioners have been inspired by the exploration of these questions. "Theatre is a very dangerous weapon." These words were written in the 1920s by one of the most creative and innovative directors the theatre has known: Vsevolod Meyerhold. Meyerhold saw the menacing dangers that the theatre, and art in general, were facing in 1930s Russia and saw "the writing on the wall." This did not deter him in his work as he held onto the hope that the revolution could win.

by A.A. Cristi - Sep 4, 2019


The first performance for Brian Copeland's (in partnership with the Marin Cultural Association) The Best of San Francisco Solo Series at The Marin Center's Showcase Theater is Irma Herrera's solo show Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name?, a new work that weaves history and comedic insights into stories about names, shedding light and throwing shade on societal prejudices and assumptions. When giving her name its correct Spanish pronunciation, Irma often gets the, 'where are you from?' question. The assumption: that she is a foreigner.
