********************************************************************
Two households, both alike in dignity. One belongs to Juliet Capulet, the other to a teenage girl reading Romeo + Juliet for the first time in 2019, desperately looking for the great love story she has been promised. After exploring the relationship between girls and power in Julius Caesar and sex and power in The Maid’s Tragedy, Pocket Universe turns its attention to the power of perspective in this new adaptation of Shakespeare’s most famous work; and how, as time and humanity evolve, the classics are received today.

9A) Between the Threads Comes to HERE
145 6th Ave.
(Between Dominick and Spring Street)
New York, NY
January 18 - February 10
The World Premiere of Between the Threads will play at HERE, January 18 - February 10, with Opening Night slated for January 25. The production is directed by Coral Cohen who also conceived the piece, and features original music by Violinist Zoë Aqua. The limited run features an all-female-identified cast who helped develop the piece, and creative team.
Between the Threads is a devised theatre piece about Jewish women in America exploring their relationship to their Judaism. What does it mean to be part of a tiny minority with a disproportionate representation in the national consciousness? How does our identity as Jews intersect with our identities as women? How important is our Judaism to our lives now? What is our responsibility as a historically oppressed people in the face of blatant injustice in our own country, and injustice done in our name in another?
The production features a group of six female-identified artists who explore their personal history to present a collage of varied perspectives on what it means to be perennially in-between: in the intersection of tradition and modernity, power and oppression.
Performances take place at HERE (between Dominick & Spring Street), 145 6th Avenue, New York City, NY 10013. Subways: C/E to Spring Street, 1 to Houston, N/R to Prince Street.

Eco Village
by Phoebe Nir
January 15 - February 16, 2019
at The Theatre at St. Clement's
The world premiere of the new off-Broadway play Eco Village has found its cast and design team.

When temporarily homeless Robin hitchhikes her way to an eco-village seen online, all she wants is a warm meal, a place to sleep, and some new friends. Instead, she finds a parallel universe, where survival skills and New Age optimism are blended together. When Robin falls for Jake, a brilliant but tormented handyman, their connection sets off a series of events that reveal the limits of human connection and the costs of utopia.
