Feb. 28, 2023  

The Strand Theater Company continues its 15th Anniversary Season as Baltimore's women-centric theatre company with the World Premiere production of Crisis Mode: Living Pilipino in America, written and performed by Cori Dioquino. Directed by Tara Cariaso. Choreography by Catrece Ann Tipon.

In this one-person piece, Cori Dioquino explores the complexities of her own identity as she navigates through the three major identity crises of her life. Crisis Mode weaves Dioquino's personal history with that of her motherland - The Philippines - and its complicated relationship to the United States through dance, movement, music and art. With each crisis, she shares her experiences growing up an immigrant in the "Land of the Free", coping with hidden mental health issues, and her gradual transition from "Proud Pinoy" to "Generic Asian".

Review: TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD at Hippodrome Theatre
What did our critic think of TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD at Hippodrome Theatre? Chances are, if you're a product of the American education system, you read Harper Lee's 1960 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, in high school or college. And if you didn't, you've likely seen the 1962 film of the same name featuring Gregory Peck in perhaps his most famed role, lawyer and bastion of decency, Atticus Finch. The plot involving Atticus and his children, Scout and Jem, is in some ways, quite 'straightforward.' Atticus is asked to represent Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. It's deep South, Alabama, 1934. It's not going to end well. However, it's what happens along the way, and afterwards, that makes this novel so worth reading, and this play, so worth watching.
