BY JOSÉ RIVERA JAN 27, 28 | 7:00 PM | FREE | ZOOM The Two River Players return for a new series of
digital community readings, featuring Two River Theater staff
members, plus a few surprise guests! José Rivera’s Obie-award
winning play has been described as “an apocalyptic urban

way to recover the long-lost and much-needed compassion for our
fellow man.” The play follows Marisol Perez, a young Puerto
Rican woman from the Bronx, who finds herself in the middle of
a cosmic struggle spilling out onto the streets of New York
City. Event will not be recorded for online

TINY SHAKES: ROMEO AND
JULIET updates TRT's popular A Little Shakespeare education
program for high school students
|
This year, the program takes the limitations of
2021 as an opportunity for students to delve deeply into
Shakespeare’s star-crossed romantic tragedy, giving them the
agency to tell the story of each scene in their own way and
film it: Traditional Zoom scene reading? Rap battle? Movement
or dance piece? Animation? The sky’s the limit! These videos
will be edited into a theatrical collage that can be accessed
through Two River’s website this May.
INTERESTED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT PARTICIPANTS MUST
SUBMIT VIDEO BY MARCH 1.
