THE EXCEPTIONAL SALE
AT CHRISTIE’S ON APRIL 20
Chilina Kennedy, who stars as Carole King in the Broadway hit Beautiful: The Carole King Musical at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in New York City, joined with Christie’s to announce the sale of Carole King which will take place on April 20, 2018 11am at The Exceptional Sale. The personal piano of King, one of the most prolific women singer/songwriters of our time, used this 1924 model “M’ Steinway piano to compose numerous hits, including “Sweet Seasons” and Been to Canaan” and it is pictured on the cover of two of her best-selling 1970’s albums, “Music” and “Sweet Seasons”. The piano is estimated at $40,000 and it will be on view to the public through April 20 at Christie’s Rockefeller Galleries.
From 1971 the piano sat in the living room of Carole King’s house on Appian Way in Laurel Canyon, California-a house often filled with the musicians and friends like James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Lou Adler, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill and Betsy and Peter Asher. In recent decades the piano has graced the personal recording studio of King’s Idaho ranch.
Chilina Kennedy has played the role of Carole King for 1000 performances on Broadway, on tour and in the Toronto production. In addition to the Broadway production, the musical is also currently on a National tour across the U.S. and Internationally in the U.K and Australia.

A band of tiny adventurers, four wind-up creatures--a monkey, a robot, a dinosaur, and a unicorn—are on a fantastic journey.

Along the way they discover how to persevere, explore community, and celebrate random interactions. WIND-UP VARIATIONS is a multimedia retro punk meditation, an experiment in Neo-Futurism, a theatrical spectacle of the real and tangible shared everyday moments finding poetry in the routine and the chaos.

Atrium 360°
Suite for Abu Sadiya featuring Yacine Boulares, Vincent Segal & Nasheet Waits
In this musical take on a North African myth, Brooklyn-based, French-Tunisian saxophonist Yacine Boulares, French cellist Vincent Segal, and American drummer Nasheet Waits reimagine the forgotten Stambeli tradition—a healing trance music created by the descendants of sub-Saharan slaves brought to Tunisia. Boulares and Segal's original compositions form a series of variations on the legend of the hunter Abu Sadiya. In his wandering search for his enslaved daughter, Abu Sadiya danced and sang his sorrow in the streets of Tunis, thus becoming the first musician of Stambeli and personifying the memory of sub-Saharan slaves in Tunisia.
This engagement of Abu Sadiya featuring Yacine Boulares & Vincent Segal is funded through the French-American Jazz Exchange Tours program of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Whistleblower Series
three plays in repertory:
The People VS. Antigone, I Am My Own Wife, and My Name is Rachel Corrie
April 21 - May 13, 2018
at the Paradise Factory
The Seeing Place Theater presents The Whistleblower Series, three plays in rep: The People VS. Antigone, I Am My Own Wife, and My Name is Rachel Corrie from April 21 - May 13, 2018 at the Paradise Factory, 64 E. 4th Street, NYC. Tickets to each show are $20 general admission ($30 Premium Seating, $10 5@50%) and are available at http://www.TheSeeingPlace.com, including discounted ticket packages to all three plays for $45.
The Seeing Theater's eighth Season has focused on bringing together stories that challenge the ways in which we relate to our fellow man. The season concludes with a triple-header: THE PEOPLE VS ANTIGONE, a world premiere adaptation by Brandon Walker, running in rep with two searing one-person shows: I AM MY OWN WIFE, the Tony Award winning play by Doug Wright and MY NAME IS RACHEL CORRIE by Katharine Viner and Alan Rickman from the writings of Rachel Corrie.
Each play in the Whistleblower Series explores the female protagonist as anti-hero. Each has mysteries around their actions with the public vilifying them and diluting their intended message. Additionally, all three plays explore international themes: Antigone is set in Greece, I Am My Own Wife is set in Germany but also has Americans, Russians and even the Japanese represented. And My Name Is Rachel Corrie has an American girl going to Israel/Palestine.
THE PEOPLE VS ANTIGONE
An adaptation by Brandon Walker from the play by Sophocles
Directed by Brandon Walker
The Seeing Place presents a world premiere adaptation of Sophocles tragic story - THE PEOPLE VS ANTIGONE. A modern take on the classic myth, this new play explores a rebel daughter taking on the patriarchy: will she lose her life when she breaks Theban law by burying her dead brother's body against decree?
I AM MY OWN WIFE
by Doug Wright
Directed by Erin Cronican
Based on a true story, and inspired by interviews conducted by the playwright over several years, I AM MY OWN WIFE tells the fascinating tale of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a real-life German transvestite who managed to survive both the Nazi onslaught and the repressive East German Communist regime. Winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize and the 2004 Tony Award.
MY NAME IS RACHEL CORRIE
by Katharine Viner and Alan Rickman from the writings of Rachel Corrie
Directed by Brandon Walker
On March 16, 2003, Rachel Corrie, a twenty-three-year-old American, was crushed to death by an Israeli Army bulldozer in Gaza as she was trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home. In the three sold-out London runs since its Royal Court premiere, the piece has been surrounded by both controversy and impassioned proponents, and it has raised an unprecedented call to support political work and the difficult discourse it creates.
