Meet the Cartozians at Calderwood Pavilion

Part riveting historical drama, part razor-sharp satire,Talene Monahon’sMeet the Cartozians boldly imagines an untold chapter of American history. In the 1920s, an Armenian man fights for legal recognition in the courts. A century later, a new generation embraces pop culture’s appetite for influence and fame. A runaway sensation in its New York premiere,Meet the Cartoziansis a layered, complex, surprising, and stylish exploration of immigration, accountability, roots, and race. How do we decide who gets to belong — and at what price? 

Born in Belmont, Monahon returns home to celebrate the Armenian American community of Boston in this bold and provocative play, in a new production led by Artistic Director Loretta Greco.
