Six-time NHP Alum James Still’s play Texting Through Grief is being read/presented on Thursday August 1, at 7:00 pm, at the Arlington Commons Performance Hall. Reservations are encouraged.

“Vermont Public Theater and Arlington Common are partnering together to present a reading of the new play Texting Through Grief, written and performed by by Drama Desk Award winning actress Mary Bacon and renowned writer James Still, with photographic projection design by accomplished photographer Gisela Gamper. The evening is designed to foster a community dialogue about how we collectively and individually process our grief.” -Vermont Public Theater And Arlington Common

“Every day we read about how isolated from each other folks are feeling these days.  During the pandemic, millions of people lost loved ones- and most of us have experienced grief in one form or another.  This piece felt so important to me because it gives voice to the transformative process of grieving.  Ultimately, it is a play about love”  Dina Janis, Artistic Director/ Vermont Public Theater

A pre-show meet & greet will take place before the show, followed by the world premiere, and a talkback with artistic leaders of The New Harmony Project, P73, and The Keen Company.

Support The New Harmony Project on #GivingTuesday2020, a global day of giving!

Your support will enable us to continue world-class support for writers and artists whose work emanates hope, courage, strength, optimism, and resiliency. This past year, in spite of the global pandemic, The New Harmony Project was able to provide developmental support to 29 writers and some employment to 57 artists. We launched a Digital Dinner series that invited people from all across the country to gather at our “digital dinner table.” We dove into a film project centered on the NHP ideals of hope, humanity, and courage, and will premiere those projects on December 10th at 8pm. We hosted several virtual developmental workshops, built new partnerships, and began planning for our new future. Throughout it all, we’ve committed time and again to coming back stronger than before. We know that nothing can replace the in person gathering of writers, artists, and audiences, and our team is working tirelessly to be prepared to jump back in as soon as we’re able. It’s an exciting time for The New Harmony Project.

That Kindness: Nurses in their Own Words

With V (Formerly Eve Ensler)

In Support of The Brooklyn Hospital Center’s COVID-19 Fund

With help from James Lecense

Music by Morley

Animation by Alixa Garcia

Oct 15 at 7pm (on view for 96 hours)

Free at www.bam.org

That Kindness: Nurses in their Own Words is a new virtual play created by American nurses with writer, activist, and performance artist V (formerly known as Eve Ensler), honoring nurses’ selfless act of service and revealing raw, passionate testimonies from the front lines of the Covid-19 pandemic. BAM will virtually present the world premiere at BAM.org on October 15th at 7pm (EST) simultaneously with theaters across the country and will remain publicly posted for 96 hours.  In lieu of purchasing a ticket, viewers are encouraged to support those who risk their lives daily to care for their patients during a pandemic by donating to The Brooklyn Hospital Center Covid-19 Fund at any point during the engagement.

Produced in partnership with National Nurses United and California Nurses Association, That Kindness draws from frank, stirring interviews and personal stories that coalesce into a compelling narrative of kindness, confession, and activism tailored to our times. A preeminent cast brings these stories to life as nurses--who V calls “radical angels of the heart”. The cast includes Ed Blunt, Connie Britton, Rosario Dawson, Stephanie Hsu, LaChanze, Liz Mikel, Rosie O'Donnell, Billy Porter, Dale Soules, Marisa Tomei, and Monique Wilson. The production features original music by Morley, whose poignant lyrics capture the essence of the work..."A nation is defined by how its nurses are supplied...how they're treated and if they survive." 

In this most important of election years and further channeling That Kindness into a call to action, this production is presented in conjunction with BAM's Get Out the Vote effort.

Presented in cooperation with Abingdon Theatre, A.C.T. San Francisco, American Repertory Theater, Arena Stage, ArtsEmerson, Berkeley Rep, The Billie Holiday, Center Theater Group, Dallas Theatre Center, Fringe Arts, Manhattan Theater Club, NAATCO, New Harmony Project, Peak Performances/Montclair State University, Theatre for a New Audience, 2nd Stage, Stanford Live!, Two River Theater, UCLA CAP, Wilma Theater.

The Great Society. 17 actors. Over 50 characters. One epic political drama. Capturing Johnson’s passionate and aggressive attempts to build a just society for all, The Great Society follows his epic triumph in a landslide election to the agonizing decision not to run for re-election just three years later. It was an era that would define history forever: the rise of the Civil Rights Movement, the deaths of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, the escalation of the Vietnam War, and the creation of some of the greatest social programs America has ever known—and one man was at the center of it all: LBJ.

“It shines a bright, clear light on a pivotal moment in American history. Impressive in its scope and surprisingly energetic. I came away more impressed than I was with All The Way—and, ultimately, more moved.” - The New York Times

“Panoramic, enthralling and forcefully evokes a tumultuous era.” - The Seattle Times

“The Great Society demands to be seen. A brilliant extension of All The Way and a culmination of Schenkkan’s masterwork.” – BroadwayWorld

The Great Society Special Information

The Great Society stars Emmy® and Olivier Award winner Brian Cox (Succession, King Lear with the Royal Shakespeare Company) as LBJ, and features Grantham Coleman (Much Ado About Nothing at The Public) as Martin Luther King Jr., Emmy winner and Tony nominee Gordon Clapp (Glengarry Glen Ross) as J. Edgar Hoover, Tony nominee Marc Kudisch (Billions, A Minister’s Wife at LCT) as Richard J. Daley, Tony nominee Bryce Pinkham (A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder) as Robert F. Kennedy, Tony winner Frank Wood (Side Man) as Everett Dirksen, and Tony nominee Richard Thomas (The Little Foxes) as Hubert Humphrey.
