'East Towards Home' by Billy Yalowitz brings to life three generations of Jewish left-wing culture in New York City, combining tales of radical choreographers of the 1930's and 40's, texts and songs from Woody Guthrie, and first-person stories of the author's NYC Jewish left-wing childhood in the 1960's and 70's. With loose-limbed storytelling, visual projections, animation, modern dance and live music, it offers a personal and impassioned look at the culture and history of the American Jewish radical left-wing community at a time when this legacy is in danger of passing into obscurity. Theater for the New City will present the play's world premiere run January 16 to February 2, directed by David Schechter.

War has constantly plagued Korea since the Second World War. The first instance was when the Japanese invaded Korea and colonized it for most of the war. Then a few years later, the Korean War erupted and thousands of Korean civilians were caught in the crossfire between the South and North Korean factions. Even today North and South Korea are still hostile nations since they have not signed a peace treaty. Tensions between the two countries constantly arise, centering around the DMZ (demilitarized zone) that borders them. A nuclear war, for many military analysts, is most likely to start in the Korean peninsula. Author Brian D. Pardo's 'A Year In The Sun' is a story about the Korean conflict and the many lives it has affected.
