Written by Mark Harelik, The Immigrant, based on the life of his Russian-Jewish grandfather, tells the story Haskell Harelik, who arrives at the port of Galveston, Texas in 1909 seeking refuge from his homeland.

5) Hatef**k at WP Theater
Hatef**k, written by Rehana Lew Mirza (Soldier X), at WP Theater. A 2017 Kilroy’s List selection, the play stars Kavi Ladnier (“Just Add Magic”, “Heroes”) and Sendhil Ramamurthy (“Heroes”, “New Amsterdam”). Adrienne Campbell-Holt (What We’re Up Against) returns to WP Theater to direct the four-week limited engagement – which opens Wednesday, March 13, and plays through Sunday, March 31 – at WP Theater (2162 Broadway).
Passions ignite when Layla, an intense literature professor, accuses Imran, a brashly iconoclastic novelist, of trading in anti-Muslim stereotypes. But as their attraction grows into something more, they discover that good sex doesn’t always make good bedfellows. Conflicting cultural identities collide in this thornily clever antidote to a “meet-cute” romance.

Philharmonia Orchestra Eska-Pekka Salonen, conductor Truls Mørk, cello
Esa-Pekka Salonen’s talents as both composer and conductor are on display as he leads Sibelius’s ambient, 1913 tone poem The Oceanides, followed by his own acclaimed Cello Concerto, performed by the intrepid Truls Mørk. Then, Salonen—one of the world’s most electrifying Stravinsky interpreters—leads the orchestra in Stravinsky’s breakthrough workThe Firebird. Inspired by fairytales of the legendary Russian folk character the Firebird, Stravinsky’s dramatic and haunting score was the first of three commissioned by the Russian ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev for Ballet Russes. An immediate success with both critics and audiences, the work caused his contemporary Sergei Rachmaninoff to exclaim “Great God! What a work of genius this is! This is true Russia!”

Journalist Zach Schonbrun, author of The Performance Cortex: How Neuroscience Is Redefining Athletic Genius, explores what drives human movement with Jason Sherwin, co-founder and CEO of deCervo, a neuro-tech startup based in New York City that measures and improves cognitive performance for athletes.
With deCervo co-founder Jordan Muraskin, Jason Sherwin has been using EEG technology to track baseball players' mental processing during batting exercises to gauge exactly when the player chose to swing - or not - and how much confidence their decision held. They also have the capacity to measure which parts of the brain fire are active during these quick decisions, map response times over a variety of pitches, and assess the batter's concentration level. Zach Schonbrun's expertise makes him the perfect interpreter to translate for non-scientists the impact such research can have on performance in sports and more broadly.

15A)DO YOU FEEL ANGER?
BY MARA NELSON-GREENBERG
DIRECTED BY MARGOT BORDELON
DIRECTED BY MARGOT BORDELON
BEGINS PREVIEWS MARCH 13
OPENING NIGHT APRIL 2
Vineyard Theatre at (108 East 15th Street) will begin performances of Do You Feel Anger on Wednesday, March 13 with opening night on April 2.
In Mara Nelson-Greenberg's dazzling dark comedy, Sofia (Villarin) is hired as an empathy coach at a debt collection agency -- and clearly, she has her work cut out for her. These employees can barely identify what an emotion is, much less practice deep, radical compassion for others. As they painstakingly stumble towards enlightenment, someone keeps mugging Eva (Hill) in the kitchen, and the unspoken dynamics of their seemingly blithe workplace culture become increasingly unsettling. This absurdly funny and potent new play, directed by Margot Bordelon, reminds us that change is not always easy, and may come with unexpected costs.
Tickets for DO YOU FEEL ANGER? can be purchased online at vineyardtheatre.org, by phone at 212-353-0303, or in person at 108 East 15th Street.
