WATERWELL’S
THE COURTROOM
TO PLAY THE COOPER UNION’S
HISTORIC GREAT HALL
FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY
ON DECEMBER 9
TRANSCRIPTS ARRANGED BY ARIAN MOAYED
DIRECTED BY LEE SUNDAY EVANS
THE RE-ENACTMENT OF DEPORTATION PROCEEDINGS
IS PLAYING MONTHLY PERFORMANCES AT
CIVIC VENUES
BETWEEN NOW AND THE 2020 ELECTION
Waterwell recently announced the next performance of The Courtroom, a re-enactment of deportation proceedings, for one night only at the historic Great Hall at The Cooper Union (7 East 7th Street), on Monday, December 9 at 7:00pm. The production is included in The New York Times’ Best Theater of 2019 list. Tickets are free and available at waterwell.org.
The Courtroom is an intimate encounter with our nation’s immigration court system. Due to popular demand after a sold-out run earlier this year, the production is playing a series of special, one-night engagements in civic venues between now and the 2020 election.
By partnering with The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, Waterwell is bringing The Courtroom to one of New York City's most enduring civic venues. Built in 1858, the Great Hall was the platform for some of the earliest workers' rights campaigns and for the birth of the NAACP, the women's suffrage movement and the American Red Cross. Presidents Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, Wilson, Clinton and Obama have all spoken at its lectern. Now, the cast of The Courtroom will stand at that lectern to debate the fate of the show’s protagonist and her family.
The Courtroom features a rotating cast throughout the year.
The Courtroom is a re-enactment of deportation proceedings. In 2004, an immigrant from the Philippines who was married to a U.S. Citizen came to this country on a K3 Visa. After inadvertently registering to vote at the DMV in Bloomington, IL, receiving a voter registration card in the mail, and voting, her removal proceeding was set in motion. It began in Immigration Court and her case was eventually heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit. The Courtroom is performed entirely verbatim from the court transcripts.
Performances in 2020 will be announced soon

December 13, 2019
For 12 Weeks Only at Union Square’s
DR2 Theatre
Jonathan Rockefeller’s Paddington Gets in a Jam will begin its limited run beginning Friday, December 13, 2019, as the star of page and screen, Paddington, will take to the stage in this new fun-filled comedy.

In Jonathan Rockefeller’s Paddington Gets in a Jam, Paddington goes next door to borrow a cup of sugar from his neighbor Mr. Curry, who is in a panic because he's expecting a visit from his Great Aunt Matilda. And so, Paddington volunteers to help Mr. Curry with his to-do list before her imminent arrival.Throughout the afternoon Paddington attempts items on the list – repair the pipes in the bathroom, vacuum the floors, install new wallpaper, bake a cake…. But in typical Paddington fashion, nothing goes to plan. The pipes burst and flood the bathroom. The vacuum cleaner misbehaves and leaves dust everywhere. Paddington adds too much self-rising flour to the cake and his efforts at wallpapering turn into catastrophic (and sticky) chaos! Will Paddington be able to fix everything before Great Aunt Matilda arrives?
