PLAYS FOR THE PLAGUE YEAR BEGINS NOV 4
THE WORLD SHUT DOWN & Suzan-Lori Parks WROTE IT DOWN.
HER THEATRICAL CONCERT FULL OF HOPE AND HUMANITY TAKES THE JOE'S PUB STAGE BEGINNING NOV 4.

On March 13, 2020, as theaters shut their doors and so many of us went into lockdown, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and The Public's Writer-in-Residence Suzan-Lori Parks picked up her pen and her guitar and set out to write a play every day. What emerged is a breathtaking anthology of plays and songs that chronicle our collective experience and the hope and perseverance that occurred throughout that troubling year.

Performed in the intimate music venue of Joe's Pub - and featuring the music and plays of Suzan-Lori Parks - this show is both a personal story of one family's daily lives, as well as a sweeping account of all we faced as a city, a nation, and a global community. Niegel Smith directs this life-affirming new work that beams with humor and humanity, bears witness to what we've experienced, and offers inspiration as we shape our future.
