6 Things To See in February 2013

1.  THE GOOD PERSON OF SZECHUAN


Can we practice goodness and create a world to sustain it?  In Brecht’s comic and complex play, this question is raised by one of his most entertaining characters — Shen Tei the good-hearted, penniless, cross-dressing prostitute, who is forced to disguise herself as a savvy businessman named Sui Ta so she can master the ruthlessness needed to be a “good person” in a brutal world. A Foundry Theater production at LaMama.

 6. Set in the Living Room of a Small Town American Play


After being denied the rights to several works by American playwrights of the 1930s and 40s based solely on Theater Reconstruction Ensemble's standing as an experimental company, their resident playwright Jaclyn Backhaus, the creative mind behind TRE's The Three Seagulls, or MASHAMASHAMASHA!, has taken on the challenge of writing her own take on an American realism play of the 40s and 50s, utilizing the basic archetypal characters we've been running into in various workshops of iconic American plays, and creating a storyline that reflects what we've learned about the genre as a whole.    

February 21 - March 10, 2013
