KIN to be Presented at NY Theater Festival This Month
The play will premiere on July 17, 2024, at 4 pm.
*Kin*, is set to premiere at the NY Theater Festival, Hudson Guild Chelsea, on July 17, 2024, at 4 pm. This production comes on the heels of the recent Trump assassination attempt, exploring the deep-seated political divides and family dysfunction that permeate modern American life. *Kin* delves into the heart of a family torn apart by differing political ideologies, reflecting the broader societal storm engulfing the nation. As the characters navigate their personal and political conflicts, the play illuminates the broader narrative of America's struggle with violence, polarization, and the quest for understanding.
"Kin is a play about a family that pays the ultimate price for the political division that's tearing apart our families and country," says the co-writer, Lawrence Bergman. "We hope this play opens eyes, minds and hearts to these precarious times and the need for unity, before it's too late."
KIN stars; Christine D'Alonzo as MELANIE, Alex Emanuel as DAN, Tatienne Hendricks as EMMIE, Americo Rossi as CONNOR, and is under the Direction of Peter Rossi and co-produced by Peter Rossi and Christine D’Alonzo.
