1850, on board a ship bound from Belfast to Sydney. Five young women seek to become “mistresses of their own destiny.” But some find they cannot escape the nightmare of the lives they are leaving behind. As they draw nearer to the promised land, their connection to the past grows ever more powerful, eliciting rage, love, despair, and above all, hope.
In the late 1840s, men largely outnumbered women in Australia, and there were not enough people entering the labor force. At the same time, the Great Famine in Ireland had left many young women destitute, with thousands in workhouses. Amid these social crises, Earl Grey, the British Secretary of State for the Colonies, arranged to kill two birds with one stone by sending “morally pure” girls aged 14-18 to Australia through the Female Orphan Emigration Scheme. All told, between 1848 and 1850, 4,114 girls voluntarily boarded 20 ships to make the four-month journey and start new lives in Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne. Belfast Girls imagines the stories of five young women who made the journey.

On May 13, the iconic Northwest Coast Hall will return to public view with new exhibits developed with Indigenous communities from the Pacific Northwest Coast. The gallery presents the vitality and persistence of Native Nations and Pacific Northwest Coast cultural treasures—including the iconic 63-foot-long Great Canoe, towering monumental poles, and contemporary Northwest Coast art—enlivened with interpretation, storytelling, and dynamic media. Showcasing the creativity, scholarship, and history of the living cultures of the Pacific Northwest, the Northwest Coast Hall reopens in the Museum’s oldest gallery, which in 1899 became home to its first permanent exhibit dedicated to the interpretations of cultures. More than 120 years later, the Hall has been fully revitalized, with curation by Peter Whiteley, curator of North American Ethnology at the Museum, and Co-Curator Ḥaa’yuups, Nuu-chah-nulth scholar and cultural historian, working in collaboration with Consulting Curators from the Coast Salish, Gitxsan, Haida, Haíłzaqv, Kwakwakaw’akw, Nuxulk, Tlingit, and Tsimshian communities.
On Saturday, May 14, 2022, after a more than two-year postponement due to the COVID pandemic, the popular A Palo Seco will finally take the stage at Flushing Town Hall with a family-friendly flamenco production full of vibrant dance, live music, and emotion.
The afternoon event begins with an interactive dance workshop for audience members at 1:00PM, when A Palo Seco’s Artistic Director Rebeca Tomás will introduce the basic techniques and sounds of flamenco music, dance, and general body and rhythmic awareness, to be followed by a lively, not-to-be missed performance at 2:15PM.
Specifically, the workshop introduces participants to zapateo (footwork), braceo (armwork), and palmas (rhythmic hand-clapping). Families with children of all ages will discover how to play castanets before the session culminates with a dance combination that ends with an energetic “Olé!”
Following the workshop audiences will enjoy a high-energy performance of music and dance that intermixes explanations and interactive exercises for the audience to learn more about the history and geography of Southern Spain.
You can catch a sample of A Palo Seco’s colorful and vibrant work here.
In-person tickets to the performance are $12 ($8 for Members & Children). The show will also be livestreamed for virtual audiences for free. In-person tickets to the pre-show workshop are $5 ($3 for Members & Children).

PRESENTS
PUPPETOPIA
FEATURING AN ENCORE OF THÉÂTRE DE L’ENTROUVERT’S
ANYWHERE
PLUS, NEW WORKS BY
KATE BREHM, ANDREW GAUKEL, SARA OUTING, LAKE SIMONS, SACHIYO TAKAHASHI & ROWAN MAGEE AND CHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS & PATTI BRADSHAW
MAY 11-22,
The Obie Award-winning HERE (Founding Artistic Director Kristin Marting) is proud to announce programming for Puppetopia, a presentation of HERE’s Dream Music Puppetry program. Puppetopia will run May 11–22, 2022 in the HERE Mainstage & Dorothy B. Williams Theatres (145 Sixth Avenue, New York, NY 10013).
Forced to close early due to the pandemic, HERE is pleased to bring back Théâtre de l’Entrouvert’s Anywhere for an encore presentation. Premiering and performing in repertory with Anywhere will be new, live and fully realized iterations of works and in-progress excerpts that were developed as part of Dream Music Puppetry Program’s new Mini-Residency Initiative during the 2020-21 Season. Artists Kate Brehm, Andrew Gaukel, Sara Outing, Lake Simons, Sachiyo Takahashi & Rowan Magee, and Christopher Williams & Patti Bradshaw will present their new creations which embrace music and a range of puppetry techniques, choreography and object work as they explore a range of themes around the human condition and our existence at this moment in history.
The schedule for Puppetopia is as follows:
PROGRAM 1
HERE Mainstage
Wednesday May 11-Saturday May 14 at 8:30pm; Sunday May 15 at 4:00pm
*There will be a talkback following the Friday May 13 performance.
Freely inspired by the novel Œdipe sur la route (Oedipus on the Road) by Henry Bauchau, Théâtre de l’Entrouvert’s Anywhere evokes the long wandering of Oedipus accompanied by his daughter Antigone. The fallen Oedipus appears in the form of an ice puppet that gradually turns into water then into mist and disappears in the Erynian Forest, the place of clairvoyance. It is an inner evolution represented through the metamorphosis of water.
In a society where reality is drained of its meaning, space and time of their substance, and we are cut off from our true existence in this glossy world of superficiality, is there any room for those who do not participate in the power game, for those who stumble, those who search and lose themselves? Anywhere traces with gentleness and strength a poetic journey, in black and white, of fire and ice, which speaks to us about our bodies, our fragilities, our wanderings in the infinite circle of renewal.
Anywhere is a presentation of HERE’s Dream Music Puppetry Program (Basil Twist, Artistic Director) and was created by Elise Vigneron and Hélène Barreau in 2016. It has since toured extensively, including performances in China, Germany, Italy, Korea, and in the London International Mime Festival.
Anywhere is conceived by Elise Vigneron, based on the novel Œdipe sur la route by Henry Bauchau, and directed by Elise Vigneron and Hélène Barreau. It is made possible with funding from FACE Contemporary Theater, a program of Villa Albertine and FACE Foundation, in partnership with the French Embassy in the United States, with support from The Ford Foundation, Institut français, the French Ministry of Culture, and private donors; and the Jim Henson Foundation’s Allelu Award.
PROGRAM 2
Dorothy B. Williams Theatre
Wednesday May 11-Saturday May 14 at 7:00pm; Sunday May 15 at 2:00pm
*There will be a talkback following the Sunday May 15 performance.
Walking Iris (excerpts) by Christopher Williams & Patti Bradshaw is an absurdist puppet/dance work inspired by botanical wonders such as the walking iris (Neomarica gracilis), winged immortals including the Greek goddess Iris (personification of the rainbow), Harpies (sisters of Iris), and the Boreads (wind brothers), as well as the mysterious “Ladies in Blue” fresco recreated from fragments found in the Minoan palace of Knossos on the island of Crete. Set to stylized “re-imaginings” of ancient Greek musical fragments recorded by Gregorio Paniagua, excerpts from the work-in-progress for Puppetopia will feature puppets by Wendy Froud and Williams along with prosthetic costumes by Patti Bradshaw.
In Animist by Andy Gaukel, a solo performer engages with a life-sized puppet to explore the stress of depression, addiction and the profound feelings of loss many of have experienced not only during the COVID-19 pandemic, but also during life itself. The piece is wordless, and, with the exception of a wood box, puppet, and performer, takes place entirely on a bare stage defined by patterns of light reminiscent of broken windows.
One Night in Winter is the first chapter of Shinnai Meets Puppetry, a project to introduce the Japanese storytelling of Shinnai-bushi to international audiences with puppetry. Sachiyo Takahashi performs this work-in-progress presentation of One Night in Winter by great master Okamoto Bunya under her official Shinnai-bushi name Okamoto Miya, collaborating with co-creator and puppet designer/lead puppeteer Rowan Magee. One Night in Winter is the story of a lonely old man who receives a surprise visit from a Tanuki (Japanese raccoon dog) on a cold winter night.
PROGRAM 3
HERE Mainstage
Wednesday May 18-Saturday May 21 at 8:30pm; Sunday May 22 at 4:00pm
*There will be a talkback following the Friday May 20 performance.
The Eye Which We Do Not Have by Kate Brehm is an eerie, yet powerful psychological tale about suppressed female desire told with puppetry and performing scenery. With a nod to Hitchcock, its cinematic style points to a constantly shifting perspective.
Doors by Sara Outing is an allegory about exhaustion and resilience, set among echoes and blueprints of the structures that keep Black Americans from being free. Tracking the journey of an ever-morphing central figure, Doors leaps across time and place to examine four centuries of displacement and survivorhood to find cues for rest, modes of resistance, and a vision for the future.
PROGRAM 4
Dorothy B. Williams Theatre
Wednesday May 18-Saturday May 21 at 7:00pm; Sunday May 22 at 2:00pm
*There will be a talkback following the Sunday May 22 performance.
Lifting the blanket of dementia and sliding in next to my mother I try to slip beneath her skin and unravel pieces of her life and tie them together with my own interpretation of what is in her weathered mind. Sorry About the Weather is a puppet play by Lake Simons, performed by Simons and Erin K. Orr with music by Rima Fand.
Tickets to individual Puppetopia programs are $25; a full festival package, which includes a ticket to each of the four programs, is available for $80. Tickets are available now at here.org/shows/puppetopia.

Saturday, May 14th, 2 PM & 8 PM

Full Radius Dance
Sunday, May 15th, 3 PM
The Claire Shulman Theater at Queens Theatre, Tickets: $25
Full Radius Dance is a professional physically integrated modern dance company based in Atlanta, GA. The term physically integrated defines dance that combines dancers with and without disabilities in the creation, rehearsal, and performance of the work. For Full Radius Dance, physically integrated dance is not just about the disabled body but the bodies of all the dancers. It communicates an awareness and acceptance of physicality and a deep sense of recognition of the power and potential of the body.
During Alice, Peter, and Dorothy, Full Radius Dance examines the fantasy novels Alice in Wonderland, Peter and Wendy, and The Wizard of Oz through a disability-centric lens – how does disability inform the authors’ work? What rhetoric in the novels minimalizes and/or normalizes the visual or invisible mark of disability? Funding for this work is provided by the National Endowment for the Arts.
In Undercurrents, dancers flow on and off the stage in currents of movement, pulling the dance in unexpected directions. Partnerships are created and washed away, subtle shifts create dramatic effects, and hidden feelings and impulses run below the surface.
Molly Joyce
Sunday, May 15th, 5 PM,
The Cabaret at Queens Theatre, Tickets: $25
Molly Joyce has been deemed one of the “most versatile, prolific and intriguing composers working under the vast new-music dome” by The Washington Post. Her work is concerned with disability as a creative source. She has an impaired left hand from a previous car accident, and the primary vehicle in her pursuit is her electric vintage toy organ, an instrument she bought on eBay, which engages her disability on a compositional and performative level.
Molly Joyce will share a selection of songs for voice, toy organ, electronics, and video playback, all with songs centering disability as a creative source. In this performance, Joyce will partner with ASL interpreter/performer Brandon Kazen-Maddox, to provide further interpretation and gestural language in highlighting the lyrical and aural content. The performance will also feature videos created in collaboration with artists Four/Ten Media, Marco Grosse, Maya Smira, and live sound engineering by Michael Hammond.
Phamaly Theatre Company’s The Spitfire Grill
Saturday, May 21st, 8 PM & Sunday, May 22nd, 3PM,
The Claire Shulman Theater at Queens Theater, Tickets: $25
Comforting and folksy, The Spitfire Grill is a musical that will get your toes tapping as you enter a world of hope, redemption, and some good ol’ breakfast. Percy is a young woman with a complicated past, who is looking to start a new life in a small Wisconsin town that has seen better days. She finds work at THE SPITFIRE GRILL, a rundown diner with a disenfranchised proprietor. Through her sheer force of determination, optimism, and love, Percy is able to revitalize the grill and, in turn, the community.
Now in its fourth decade as a homegrown, award-winning Denver arts organization, Phamaly Theatre Company produces professional plays, musicals, and original work, cast entirely of performers with disabilities. Phamaly’s mission is to be a creative home for theatre artists with disabilities; to model a disability-affirmative theatrical process; and to upend conventional narratives by transforming individuals, audiences, and the world.
The Apothetae/New American Voices Reading Series

The Studio at Queens Theatre, FREE
In 2015, The Apothetae, , a theater company committed to challenging perceived perceptions of the “Disabled Experience,” and The Lark , a play development lab devoted to equity, community, and the power of an individual artistic voice, launched The Apothetae at Lark Fellowship, the centerpiece of a broader initiative designed to provide an unprecedented platform of financial and artistic support and advocacy for Deaf/Disabled Artists to promote the generation of new plays with the power to revolutionize the cultural conversation surrounding Disability, as well as address the profound underrepresentation and oppressive misrepresentation of people with disabilities that persists throughout our cultural media. The Lark shuttered in late 2021, and the initiative has been rehomed at Queens Theatre.
Six readings of new plays by Disabled playwrights, developed through the Apothetae at Lark Fellowship will be presented as part of the festival. The diverse set of plays, which are written in a wide range of styles, includes, "Blanche and Stella" by A.A.
