There’s only 10 days left to see Soldier X, the magnificent new show by our friends (and neighbors at ART/NY) at Ma-Yi Theatre Company. The play is being produced at HERE Arts Center, the future home of our next play At The Table! As if you needed more reasons to check out the work of this exciting theatre company, check out the poster to their first show of last season… Yup, that’s our co-artistic director Aaron Rossini!

A LITTLE ABOUT THE PLAY
SOLDIER X follows a young African American social worker who becomes professionally compromised when she falls for a returning veteran that’s romantically entangled with his fallen friend’s Muslim sister. The play tallies the emotional scars inflicted on our young men and women returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan. How exactly do you rejoin a society that remains as conflicted about its wars as it is with issues of race and gender?
