Boro Tales: Brooklyn

BRIC is right next to BAM/Harvey

White Bird Productions presents Boro Tales: Brooklyn, conceived as a way to explore contemporary issues in relation to the urban physical environment. It is the first in a series of five theatre projects featuring works of prominent and culturally diverse writers from each borough of New York, chosen because of their gender, ethnicity, style and experience. These artists were commissioned to respond to the challenges of the dynamics of culture, with its endless variations on ethical and moral traditions, by reinventing a fairy tale and setting it in their own borough – Brooklyn!

The Brooklyn-based fairytales include:

Twelve Brothers by Jeffrey M. Jones and Camila Jones, directed by Page Burkholder

The Little Matchgirl by Lynn Nottage, directed by Miriam Weiner

Snow White by Onome Ekeh, directed by Page Burkholder

Lucky Hans by Marjorie Duffield, directed by Jean Wagner

The Dancing Princesses by Creative Theatrics’ Performance Team and Marjorie Duffield, directed by Welker White

Actors: Amie Bermowitz, April Mathis, Robert Hatcher, Joseph Jamrog, C. Andrew Bauer, Corinne Edgerly, Kathryn Velvel.

Creative team: Michael Moore (sets); Juliet Chia (lights), Melissa Blizzard (costumes); Colette Stewart (Sound) Janice Lowe (Music Director); John Istel (dramaturgy)
