SUMMER FRESH FESTIVAL presents Fresh New Works
by BWW News Desk - July 15, 2017
I'd like to first say I'm so glad you've made in this far, 2017 has been a rough year. We've learned about how fragile our government, our societal progression, and our human rights can be. If there's one thing the we as a community can use right now, it's a feeling that we are not alone. Theatre allows the audience member to engulf themselves in someone else's life or see their own life heightened in front of them; it allows endless expression, from song, to dance, to stomping as an art as well as a response to art. With that being said theatre should reflect what we see in our current lives.

ANTIGONE IN FERGUSON Comes to Brownsville, Today
by BWW News Desk - July 15, 2017
NYC Department of Veteran's Services Public Artist in Residence (PAIR) Bryan Doerries and Theater of War Productions will engage diverse audiences in a meditation on racism, violence, and social justice by bringing together leading actors for a dramatic reading of scenes from Sophocles' Antigone-an ancient Greek tragedy exploring what takes place when personal conviction and the law clash, and violence ensues. The readings are accompanied by a gospel choir performance of original music by Philip Woodmore performed by an ensemble that includes police officers, local educators, and community members from Ferguson and St. Louis, MO and Brooklyn, NY. Gathering victims of violence, concerned citizens, members of faith communities, and the general public, the event culminates in an open facilitated discussion to create a dialogue between these communities and foster compassion, understanding, and positive action, while helping them heal from their personal experiences with violence in their neighborhoods.
