Daniel Aukin, Sarah Benson, Mac Wellman Set for SoHo Rep Post-Performance Talks
Soho Rep has announced that it will celebrate its 35th anniversary season with FEED35, a yearlong series of post-performance talks.
Scheduled talks will begin with Founding Co-Artistic Director Marlene Swartz in conversation with the theater’s Literary & Humanities Manager and FEED program founder Raphael Martin (February 15). Then, Daniel Aukin — former Artistic Director and director of the company’s current offering, The Ugly One — will be in conversation with Time Out New York Theater Editor David Cote (February 16). Members of the production team for 1994’s Dracula and playwright Mac Wellman will gather for a Production reviewed talk to revisit the production.
Playwright Ken Urban will discuss the new edition of Sarah Kane’s Blasted, which he edited (June 12). Current Soho Rep Artistic Director Sarah Benson will be featured in a discussion focusing on the future of the theater (June 21). Finally, the team from the 2001 production of Melissa James Gibson’s [sic] — including playwright Gibson, director Aukin, set designer Louisa Thompson, lighting designer Matt Frey and others — will reunite for another Production reviewed.
FEED35 is produced by FEED, the theater’s literary and humanities program. FEED is designed to enrich audiences’ and artists’ experience of Soho Rep’s plays through a series of live events, publishing, and on-line content.
