Event

Carol, at Christmas (A staged reading of a new play)

Writer: Joe Godfrey
Director: Heather Arnson

Struck by a car while jogging across 5th Avenue a week before Christmas, Porter John Thompson, middle-aged and privileged, has just returned to his Manhattan apartment, hobbled with multiple fractures and contusions. Angry and depressed, he is a formidable challenge for his new home care aide, Carol Murphy, an African-American woman from a very different background. Their tempestuous relationship intensifies until John reveals an event in his past that he cannot make peace with. Carol, though, also has something in her past that helps bridge a gap in understanding between them. Or is it something more that brings them together? Do miracles happen at Christmas? (A staged reading of a new play.)

Emerging Artists returns with their one-of-a-kind festival. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways: by a single performer embodying a whole host of characters; by a more experimental theater piece "done differently" that challenges and delights; by a cozy two-person show exploring relationships; or perhaps by a bouncy new musical that will have you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, new talents, new voices. That's never been more evident than now.

NO REFUNDS will be granted.
