District Nomad: Live in the Listening Room
Musicians Gary Prince, Chris Brown, Sarah Foard and Manny Arciniega offer an exciting re-interpretation of Olivier Messiaen’s work “The Quartet for the End of Time” as the human race faces new threats of intolerance and fascism, serving as a reminder that music can overcome any obstacle and soar above any wall.
Be one of the first to check out this production by national award-winning playwright James Ijames at their Pay-What-You-Wish Community Preview Night! About the play: The recently-widowed “Mother of America” lies helpless in her Mount Vernon bed, ravaged by illness and cared for by the very slaves that are free the moment she dies. The fever dream of terrifying theatricality that follows investigates everything from Martha Washington’s family to her historical legacy.
