Jordan Harrison’s new play THE ANTIQUITIES asks the question, “What does it mean to be human?” It opens with two museum curators inviting the audience to tour a museum displaying relics from the late human era...with the implication that said place exists in a post-human one. This is the first play I’ve seen that specifically tackles A.I. and technology...and the potential ramifications of letting that go unchecked.
Watch a first look at The Antiquities at Goodman Theatre, the new play by Jordan Harrison now on stge following its acclaimed Off-Broadway run.
Next up at Goodman Theatre is Pulitzer Prize finalist playwright Jordan Harrison (Marjorie Prime, Maple and Vine)'s newest work, A Tour of the Permanent Collection in the Museum of Late Human Antiquities or, just The Antiquities—a startling and transcendent portrait of the present as seen from the future—is on stage now in preview performances.
Brown/Trinity Rep has announced the presentation of FUGITIVE SONGS, a musical exploring themes of escape and self-discovery.
Brown/Trinity Rep presents student thesis ALABASTER, a compelling play exploring the power of connection and healing.
As written—and as typically performed—Sam Shepard's 1980 dark comedy True West can feel like it skates around some of the troubling issues lurking beneath America's self image. Its vision of a dichotomous West of freedom and constraint, open range and suburb, can seem a naive gloss over questions of dislocated Native American nations and the slave labor which drove the engine of nineteenth-century progress. Not so with the keenly visualized, expertly directed, and authentically acted production at Brown/Trinity MFA. This is a brilliant take on this classic that everyone should see. Even if you don't think you like Shepard. Seriously.
The Brown University/Trinity Repertory Company MFA Programs in Acting and Directing presents Two in Rep: two fall productions playing in rotating repertory featuring the programs' students.
