Even after reading the poster, you may wonder as did the Q, what IS this exactly? So I went to one of the creators Rebecca Martinez, and she had this to say:
What this event is, is a different type of theater
event. It is created using interviews from a variety of people in the
neighborhood, to get impressions of the neighborhood and its changes
from people who have been here for many years, as well as people who
have just moved in.
The interviews (all
anonymous) are performed lived by actors, some will be a composite of
several interviews that perhaps touched on the same issues and some will
be pretty close to how we got them. The hope
is to represent multiple perspectives in the room and to not push an
agenda or take a side, but to create a space where people can meet and
speak to each other, hear what's on the minds of their neighbors, and to
invite the audience to share their perspectives.
Have a drink, immerse yourself in your neighborhood. Get out of the house at an early hour. What could be better?
