WBGO Interview with Brandon J. Dirden and Crystal Dickinson
Join us for a LIVE WBGO interview in the Marion Huber Theater with Wine in the Wilderness Director Brandon J. Dirden and actress Crystal Dickinson!
WINE IN THE WILDERNESS
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.
A Little Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet
Celebrating ten years of engaging young theater artists with the work of the Bard!
LIVING & BREATHING
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.
ROMEO AND JULIET
The classic tale of star-crossed love is infused with contemporary vitality by playwright Hansol Jung (Wolf Play, Wild Goose Dreams, Cardboard Piano).
ARTS EDUCATION
We believe that arts education promotes two central goals: supporting the artist within each student and building future audiences. We inspire empathy, risk-taking and a sense of adventure; and we support academic achievement and life-long learning.
STUDENT MATINEES
Introduce your students to professional world-class theater, with student matinees available for almost every performance and a variety of grade levels.
A LITTLE SHAKESPEARE
Engaging young artists with the work of the Bard in an adaptation directed and designed by professional artists, performed and supported backstage by high school students.
HOWARD ARONSON METRO SCHOLARS
High school juniors get an inside look at the professional theater-making process, from sets and costumes to marketing and audience services.
We believe that the essence of theater is democratic: it invites us to encounter, consider and perhaps adopt other points of view, if only for a brief time in a darkened theater. We aspire to build an environment in which artists, audiences, employees, and Board members from different backgrounds and experiences together form an institution that is equitable, diverse, and inclusive.
