DIS-LOCATION AND RE-DISCOVERY: FOUR STAGED READINGS
Curated by Marcy Arlin from the Immigrant Theatre Projectand Ian Morgan from The New Group.
This series of four readings explores immigration and the experience of transition in our society. Each reading will be followed by a discussion with the playwright and director.
ELLIOT, A SOLDIER’S FUGUE BY QUIARA ALEGRÍA HUDES
Directed by Michael Garcés
The play, through lyrical “fugues” and “preludes” in the form of letters and narrative, follows three generations of military men in a Puerto Rican-American family. In the family’s run-down barrio vegetable garden, Elliot, the son, returning as a wounded hero from Iraq, craves a conversation with his father, who served in Vietnam, and his grandfather, who fought in Korea, about the realities of war. This causes the three to reveal their never-spoken stories of war horror and family love.
6:30 p.m., Thursday, March 24, 2005, Martin E. Segal Theatre
