SS6E7: On Politics, On Pulitzers, On Performance Art
Episode 7
Sunday, 26 February, 2023
Profe Herrera (aka StinkyLulu) reflects on eight plays in four pairings that together ask what makes a political play, what makes a Pulitzer-worthy play, what makes something performance art and not a play (and vice versa), and what happens when a big new celebrity shows up in your big old play…. Productions discussed in this episode include: the live-streamed Broadway production of Stephen Daly Guirgis’ BETWEEN RIVERSIDE AND CRAZY and Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre’s production of Katori Hall’s HOT WING KING; the long-running Broadway revival of Kander & Ebb’s CHICAGO, currently starring drag artist Jinkx Monsoon, and BAM’s buzzy revisitation of Lorraine Hansberry’s THE SIGN IN SIDNEY BRUSTEIN’s WINDOW, with Oscar Isaac starring as Sidney; TwoRiver Theatre’s production of Mando Alvarado’s LIVING AND BREATHING and Princeton Theater Program’s staging of student Reed Leventis’s immersive and interactive work DISORDER; and Amalia Oliva Rojas’s How to Melt ICE or How the Coyote Fell in Love with the Butterfly who Tried to Be a Lizard — as presented by Boundless Theatre Company in partnership with New Perspectives Theatre at the JuliaDeBurgos Cultural Center in East Harlem — and Guillermo Calderón’s Kiss by the Wilma Theater in Center City Philadelphia. https://linktr.ee/stinkylulu
