The Assembly presents the world premiere of home/sick to kick off the Make Your Own City Arts Festival at the Collapsible Hole in Williamsburg, 7/6-7/30.

Following the critical acclaim of their most recent productions: Three Sisters (The Cherry Pit), The Dark Heart of Meteorology, (Horse Trade Theatre) and Clementine and the Cyber Ducks (Incubator Arts), The Assembly will present the world premiere of home/sick, an ensemble-devised piece of political theater that explores the history of the 1960s radical group, The Weather Underground.

home/sick:
Disgusted by the Vietnam War and the government's repression of those seeking equality domestically, a handful of leaders from the 1960s student movement seized control of Students for a Democratic Society and reshaped it in the name of overthrowing the United States government. Believing violence to be the only means to a true and lasting peace, these passionate idealists accelerated a movement to its fervor, but left a country behind.

The Assembly is presenting home/sick as part of their Make Your Own City Arts Festival, which will feature late night concerts, visual art installations, readings and works by other young artists and companies including: Waterwell (Goodbar-- directed by Arian Moayed, #9, The King Operetta), Shelby Company (The Land Whale Murders), and Matt Roi Berger (Spidermusical, Fat Camp). The Festival will also include lectures and talk-backs with theatrical and political academics. home/sick and the Make Your Own City Festival will run at the Collapsable Hole in Williamsburg from July 6th-July 30th.
