Airline Highway
“Airline Highway takes place in a parking lot in New Orleans of the Hummingbird Motel, where the residents have gathered to celebrate the life of Miss Ruby, an iconic burlesque queen who has been a mother figure to them all. Miss Ruby’s life is nearing its end, and she requests that her funeral takes place while she is still alive. As the celebration continues into the night, the stories of the residents, their pain, and disappointments unfold.”

Red Hills
“Inside 20,000 square feet of vacant downtown office space, site-specific juggernaut En Garde Arts presents a transportive new work asking: who has the right to tell a story and why? Red Hills invites audiences to travel from an NGO presentation by David Zosia, American author and self-proclaimed expert on Rwandan history, to the fields of Rwanda to meet God’s Blessing, a Rwandan Tour guide. Travel back to 1994 and experience these two men from vastly different cultures as they relive the events of their first meeting during the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. A collaboration between similarly diverse playwrights, Ugandan Asiimwe Deborah Kawe and American Sean Christopher Lewis, Red Hills invites you to bear witness as two men face long-buried memories, confront ghosts of their pasts, and question who owns history.” -En Garde Arts

Food for the Gods
Written and directed by Nehprii Amenii
“Food for the Gods is a multimedia performance installation about “human value.” A three-part expression of rage, indifference, and celestial knowing. Inspired by the killings of Black men, this work uses object and puppet performance to explore dehumanization, light, invisibility and well...the magical-less-ness of it all.” - La Mama Puppet Festival

Satin Cloak
“Downtown Music Productions presents The Satin Cloak, a chamber opera with music and libretto by Martin Halpern, a modern fable based on a Hasidic tale. The show is a modern re-telling of a parable by the 18th Century Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav. The story dramatizes the development, over seven years, of its four principal characters: the humble cobbler Tameem, his devoted wife Akara, their worldly friend Aruhm, and a Messenger sent by the mysterious Sovereign of the land to appoint Tameem governor of his province. Like the original parable, the opera explores timeless questions about the relation between the human and the divine, but in a way that clearly reflects contemporary moral and philosophical thought.”
