Number Nine

Albany Park Theater Project presents Number Nine, an evening of three new original plays.

Huy Time
The South Vietnam beach where a family waits in darkness for a boat. The refugee camp where two friends eat sweet mangos with fish sauce. The silence between a father and his son. The words that fly between a husband and a wife. The secret longings a brother and sister beam to the angels. The bowl of rice shared by grandparents and their grandson. A dance-music-theater journey into Huy Time.

Melissa Belle Crawford
A girl whose life begins fifteen years before she is born and a woman who becomes a mother fifteen months after the birth of her child. A drama about one girl, four parents, mental illness, gardening, and what it takes to grow a family.

Honey
A boy breathes beauty and divinity into the houseguest who becomes an unexpected friend during a difficult summer. A magical fable filled with theatrical surprises, including an original urban folk score.
