Mangled Beams
American Indian Artists Inc.
(AMERINDA)
Written by Dawn Jamieson
Directed by Christen Omantra Callahan
Rather than one man's quest for meaning, Mangled Beams is a play about "A People." It's the first play about the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) high beam walkers' involvement in the cleanup at Ground Zero after 9/11. As four men wait for work at the union hall miles from their home and families, they themselves are like mangled beams. Then the unimaginable happens. Unable to turn their backs on the tragedy, they go to work on the search and rescue effort - untangling beams while they reclaim their identity and find personal redemption.
The Sea Concerto
Flux Theatre Ensemble
Written by August Schulenburg
Directed by Heather Cohn & Kelly O'Donnell
The Sea Concerto follows Lynnie, a poet who has lost her creative voice to the silence that claimed her father's. Now, a mysterious letter from her Aunt Janet asks her to return to her old seaside home to take back something of her father's. Will it help explain the mystery of why he gave up music? Will that answer help her write again? And can she ever forgive the betrayal that tore her family apart? In the spirit of classic memory plays like The Glass Menagerie and Side Man, The Sea Concerto explores the legacies of pain and resilence that we inherit, pass on, and sometimes let go.
