As an uprising rocks his
Harlem neighborhood on a hot summer night, artist Bill
Jameson is more focused on finishing his latest work:
three paintings representing three types of Black
womanhood. More than his artistic vision is challenged by
the arrival of an unexpected muse, who refuses to be
bound by his shallow assumptions of all that Black
womanhood can be. This reflection on how art truly
reflects life is directed by Obie Award winner Brandon
J. Dirden (Director of August Wilson's Radio Golf and King
Hedley II) and features Crystal Dickinson (A
Raisin in the Sun, August Wilson's Seven Guitars).

The impulsive purchase of
some provocative art—a living Latino man who is paid to
behave as a statue—shatters a multi-ethnic friend group
by sparking questions of commodification, stereotypes,
and complacency. While the validity of the artist’s vision
might be up for debate, one thing is undeniable: the
friendship between these three men is much more fragile
than they had realized. Complex, darkly funny, and
thought-provoking, this play by Mando Alvorado was
read as a part of the 2019 Two River Theater Crossing
Borders (Cruzando Fronteras) Festival.

The classic tale of
star-crossed love is infused with contemporary vitality
by playwright Hansol Jung (Wolf Play, Wild
Goose Dreams, Cardboard Piano). Seen in 2020
as part of Two River Theater’s Two River Rising online
reading series, this new take on Shakespeare’s ode to
young love was originally commissioned by the Oregon
Shakespeare Festival’s Play On! project. It is produced
as part of the NAATCO (National Asian American Theatre
Company) National Partnership Project.

Although trapped under
house arrest, novelist Maria Celia and her sister Sofia
can still hear the rumors of shifting global politics
growing in 1990s Havana. As they await changes for Cuba
as well as changes to their situation, it’s uncertain
whether freedom will come through government regime
change, Maria Celia’s far-off husband, or the charismatic
military officer who has begun insinuating himself into
the sisters’ lives. A passionate tale of revolution, art,
and manipulation written by Pulitzer Prize winner Nilo
Cruz (Anna in the Tropics).
