RATTLESTICK PLAYWRIGHTS THEATER
For their 2021-2022 season, Rattlestick Playwrights Theater is offering a hybrid model: You can opt to attend in-person in New York or livestream. Its first production, Arturo Luís Soria’s NI MI MADRE, begins performances this weekend. The piece is a solo show in which Soria explores his relationship with his mother Bete by playing her onstage. In the theater’s own words, the piece “explores the intersection between queerness and Latinidad, while laying bare the secrets, memories, fears, and celebrations of being an immigrant and first-generation American.” I’m excited to see how this model plays out, particularly for those of us who can’t visit New York nearly as often as we’d like!
