Lauren, a recent college grad, moves back in with her parents while she looks for a job. However, the behavioral aggression of Noah, Lauren’s adult brother with autism, is severely increasing. Lauren struggles between her desire to move away to build her own life and the urgent need to contribute to her family’s crisis. This new work will serve as Convergence Theatre’s offering in the 2018 Women’s Voices Theatre Festival.

Performances at the Anacostia Arts Center, and generously supported by ARCH Development.

“Where does the light come from when it’s dark?” asks Bernadette, a fierce, bi-racial orphan girl who has survived abandon-ment at birth, abuse by institutions, and being marginalized by her society. Inspired by true events, this empowering coming of age story follows Bernadette as she conjures love, purpose, and hope from a barren landscape. This harrowing, hyper-poetic play explores how the most vulnerable need to become the most resilient.

Experience the DC premiere of this contemporary Hungarian - Romanian play which brings together a new, dynamic ensemble of local and international theater artists. Join us to meet playwright Andras Visky, the Tennessee Williams of Transylvania, who will be in attendance at select performances.

HIR

MAY 22-JUNE 18, 2017

• BY TAYLOR MAC
• DIRECTED BY SHANA COOPER
• DRAMATURGED BY OLIVIA HALLER

Isaac, a veteran, returns to his childhood home and discovers that his family’s been transformed. His timid mother, freed from the constraints of her marriage, has begun a crusade to subvert the patriarchy, and his sister is now a genderqueer anarchist who uses the pronouns ze and hir. Meanwhile, his abusive father now wears clown makeup and downs estrogen pills…against his will.

Obie Award-winner Taylor Mac’s “audacious, uproarious black comedy” (New York Times) flips the script on gender power dynamics and asks a key question: how do we heal when our politics divide us? It’s a sly kitchen-sink drama covered in glitter, and you’ll laugh your way through to an answer.

Are witches born or made? Inspired by a Jacobean tragedy of an outsider, Witch reveals the powers that shape the fate of “invisible women” in our midst. Through the marriage of projections, poetry and physical language, Witch summons the damned from past and present, unleashing the demon in all of us.

The One-­Minute Play Festival (#1MPF) is America’s largest and longest running grass roots theatre company, founded by Producing Artistic Director, Dominic D’Andrea. #1MPF is social barometer project, which investigates the zeitgeist of different communities through dialogue, consensus building, and a performance of 50-100 short moments generated by each community. #1MPF works in partnership with theatres and/or social organizations sharing playwright, educational, or community-specific missions across the country. The aim is to create locally sourced playwright-focused community events, with the goal of promoting the spirit of radical inclusion. #1MPF represents playwrights of different age, gender, race, cultures, and points of career. The work attempts to reflect the theatrical landscape of local artistic communities by creating a dialogue between the collective conscious and the individual voice.

Presented by Round House Theatre in Bethesda, MD.

Home is a word that appears simple to define, yet the complications surrounding the acquisition of “home” is one that plagues many. While war and conflict have long been a part of human history, the victims of violence have recently taken center stage in political and social arenas. Refugees are fleeing from all parts of the globe, escaping unstable governments and brutal conditionals that have overtaken a place that was once a haven. Here in the U.S., millennials are also facing the insecurity of home. Those who were taught by their elders that hard work ensured security, are forced to face the realities of a middle class that has shrunk to non-existence, and an economy that offers limited opportunities for the “American Dream.”
”At What Cost?” is a structure created by Convergence Theatre, using non-traditional forms of theatre to challenge social norms. This project invites audiences to confront the looming question: What must one sacrifice in order to secure that elusive notion of “home?” Using verbal text from primary research sources, adapted music composition, stylized movement language and soft design, "At What Cost?" provokes a visceral response to awaken the social conscience in all of us.
