Performance | Cirque du Soleil: The Best Moments from Quidam (virtual)


Quidam premiered in 1996 and has been watched by millions of spectators around the world. The entire show is imagined by a bored girl named Zoé who is alienated and ignored by her parents. She dreams up the whimsical world of Quidam as a means of escaping the monotony of her life. The show's title refers to the feature character, a man without a head, carrying an umbrella and a bowler hat. Quidam is said to be the embodiment of both everyone and no one at the same time.

Play | Yours Unfaithfully: 'un-romantic comedy' (virtual, streaming for 24 hours)


An "un-romantic comedy" about the price of free love, Yours Unfaithfully is an insightful, intelligent and exceptionally intimate peek behind the closed doors of an open marriage. Stephen and Anne, blissfully happy for eight years, are committed to living up to their ideals. When Stephen, a writer who isn't writing, begins to sink into a funk of unproductive moodiness, Anne encourages him to seek out a fresh spark. Can their marriage survive uncompromising generosity, sacrifice and love? More than the story of an unconventional couple, the play is about what happens when our ideals clash with our emotions. Written by Miles Malleson Directed by Jonathan Bank The event is streaming until May 16th.

Theater | Franz Kafka's Letter to My Father, 'Outstanding' - Broadway World (virtual)


"Appropriately Kafkaesque - existential, nightmarish, ambivalent and oddly compelling" - Stage Buddy In 1919, an ailing Franz Kafka wrote a letter to his father. In it he put his anger, his fear, his guilt, his loneliness, his ingratitude, his debt, his despair, his joy, his pride, his confusion, his laughter, his hate, his memory, his shame, his tears, his disgust at everything his father represented and his profound hope that he might one day measure up to such a remarkable man. The letter never reached its destination. Now, live from quarantine, you are invited to a curious event -- part YouTube meltdown, part hidden-camera show, part seance -- as M-34 Productions attempts to deliver it at last. Directed by James Rutherford, and performed by Michael Guagno.
