The Women’s Project will present six site-specific, short related plays in the lobbies, mezzanines, escalators, bridges, nooks and crannies of the World Financial Center complex (220 Vesey Street), grouped under the title Global Cooling: The Women Chill, June 3-6.

All written, directed and produced by women, these plays take place in real time and touch on the issues of Global Cooling that affect not only real people but scientists and mother nature. It is described as “hit and run theater,” where business people, tourists and shoppers traveling through the World Financial Center may walk around, through or in a play without even knowing they have a role in the performance. The works are presented in conjunction with arts>World Financial Center + The River to River Festival.

The works will include The Chorus of Lost Places, by Lynn Rosen, directed by Susanna Gellert; Call Your Mother Earth, by Bekah Brunstetter, directed by Meiyan Wang; Dance of the Evolving Garbage, by Alexis Clements; Moment of Zen, by Crystal Skillman, directed by Linsay Firman; Muddy the Waters, by Charity Henson-Ballard, directed by Heidi Carlson; and The Finale, by Kara Manning, directed by Wendy McClellan & Donya Washington.

Admission is free for all events. For more information, visit www.womensproject.org.
