Daniel Damiano's AMERICAN TRANQUILITY Comes to The East Village Playhouse

After it's recently acclaimed performance in the 16th Annual Downtown Urban Arts Festival, a revival of award-winning Playwright/Actor Daniel Damiano's acclaimed and ultra-timely multi-character solo play for a 3 week/3 performance engagement comes to the new East Village Playhouse, produced by fandango 4 Art House.

What is American Tranquility?

A one-hour humorous and thought-provoking exploration into the human divide in 21st Century America from the perspective of 4 very different Americans; a retired Alabaman, an Iranian subway poet/percussionist, a radio talk-show host and a Brooklyn existentialist.

Why American Tranquility?

As audiences and reviews have noted, now more than ever,American Tranquility taps into many of the key elements which have created a division in American society in a highly amusing, unusually probing and moving way; particularly issues such as ageism, immigration, political extremism and societal disconnection.
