Past projects
Hercules Public Works' adaptation of the animated Disney classic film, brought to vibrant life by professional actors and community groups from across the city. Directed by Public Works founder and Resident Director Lear deBessonet, Hercules features the film’s beloved score, plus additional original songs by the film’s composer Alan Menken and lyricist David Zippel, with a new book by Kristoffer Diaz and choreography by Chase Brock. (The Delacorte Theater, Central Park)
Twelfth Night When Viola’s new boss, Duke Orsino, sends her to win over his unrequited love, the Countess Olivia, Viola’s disguise proves too effective, and the Countess falls for the young girl dressed as a boy instead. Artistic Director of The Public Theater, Oscar Eustis, directs this musical fever dream about love in all its many disguises, and transformative power of walking a mile in another's shoes. Music by Shaina Taub, choreography by Lorin Latarro-Kopell. (The Delacorte Theater, Central Park) Cast recording released via Concord Music Craft Recordings.
Shadow, Eurydice Says by Austrian Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek is Jelinek’s most recent play to be published in English. Most people think Eurydice is a love story. Jelinek thinks otherwise. In her trademark stream-of-consciousness style, Jelinek chops, screws and tears apart the old myth, bringing feminist theory and Freud to bear on boy bands and smartphone culture. Spoken by a chorus of women of a certain age, SHADOW. EURYDICE SAYS is a jagged, vulgar last lament on the subject of love, aging, disappearing, and death. (John McMullen American Theatre for Actors)
Hair With the Viet Nam War looming over an entire generation, this rock musical explores political activism, pacifism and revolution with beloved songs such as Aquarius, Good Morning Starshine, and Let the Sun Shine In. Hair has become the musical synonymous with the hippie counter culture, sexual freedom and protest of the 1960’s. In the 50th year since its debut, Hair is just as relevant today. Taking an alternative approach, this one-of-a-kind production of Hair will be performed by a cast made up entirely of Baby Boomers who lived through the Age of Aquarius to tell a story that continues to resonate with generation after generation. (The Connelly Theatre)
Troy Inspired by Euripides’ The Trojan Women, where a community is reckoning with devastating loss, the ensemble ventured into their neighborhoods and interviewed everyday New Yorkers about the meanings of these themes in their lives. Those interviews, as well as the original writing of the ensemble, are the inspiration for the piece, which takes the assaults on our young men of color as the inciting crisis and explores the community dealing with what it is like to worry for the safety of their children.
