600 Highwaymen
THIS GREAT COUNTRY
Jul 10 – Jul 13 8pm daily
Pier 17 Storefront, South Street Seaport
This Great Country is 600 Highwaymen's re-spin of Arthur Miller’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Death of a Salesman. In an everyday, vacant space, 17 individuals come together with an audience to breathe new life into Miller’s epic portrait of self-worth amid shifting economics and fading dreams. Following a critically-acclaimed, sold-out run in Austin’s Fusebox Festival 2012, This Great Country is restaged with both Texas and New York actors, fusing Millerʼs drama with 600 HIGHWAYMEN’s unique theatrics and highly charged performance style.

UNTITLED PROJECT
Jul 13 – 14 2-6pm
Building 110: LMCC’s Arts Center at Governors Island
Writer, director, designer Andrew Ondrejcak and the cast of over 30 characters invite you to view a work-in-progress play based on influential Swedish playwright August Strindberg’s A Dream Play. The play presents the scenario of a divine visitation into the contemporary tedium of the everyday human. Despite unremarkable existences, the characters’ stories layer and culminate in a portrait of the interconnectivity of all humans, with each individual both the center of the world and part of something they cannot comprehend.
