Those looking for a break from election discourse this month may find welcome reprieve in Mosaic Theater Company's deeply compassionate production, THE ART OF CARE, on stage now through November 24.

Mosaic Theater Company will present the world premiere of The Art of Care, a world premiere theatrical event exploring how we care for, and are cared for by, others. Conceived and directed by Derek Goldman, performances run October 31 to November 24, 2024, at the Atlas Performing Arts Center.

Nigerian ancestry, and American ideals clash, merge, and play off each other in Sojourners by playwright Mfoniso Udofia -this deeply moving play is part of the epic nine-play Ufot Cycle which follows a Nigerian American family through many cycles of life and generations. This production, presented by the Round House Theatre, quite obviously portrays ancestral themes/American values/assimilation, etc. but I feel that it concurrently succeeds as a theatrical meditation on how a strong central “survivor” can succeed in a world by intersecting with others to create bonding and community within a broken and challenging environment.

Round House Theatre kicks off its 2024-2025 Season with an acclaimed Nigerian-American drama, Sojourners, written by Mfoniso Udofia and the first play in her nine-part Ufot Cycle.

A seismic theatrical jolt shot through the theatre world this past Thursday evening when a startling, radically deconstructed production of Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches opened at the Arena Stage; this interpretation grabs you like a “fever-dream” of the mind.  As soon as I walked in to see this interpretation of this classic play of the American canon, a distinctly European sensibility took hold, and I noticed the chandeliers were all covers in heavy tarp/sheeting and the Angel was raking the theatre-in -the -round stage while moving gradations of sand around an inner circle.  This Angel appears with some frequency in this interpretation and we are reminded that there “are” angels in America ---perhaps we do not need be ruled by the crazed politics that divide us.  We can choose to fight our biases and preconceptions.

Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater has announced the cast and creative team of its upcoming production of Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches, which will run March 24 April 23, 2023, in the iconic in-the-round Fichandler Stage. See first look photos of the cast.
