Once again, the director of "Pabellon psiquiatrico 305" prepares her patients to compete before a cultural commission that allows them to present their show outside the hospital as part of their therapy. Patients lose control as they bring to life the mythical characters of French comedian Jean-Baptiste Poquelin "Moliere" in honor of the 400th Anniversary of the birth of one of the fathers of comedy. Madness becomes a hilarious display of histrionics and alienation with 13 characters trapped in rehab that exposes them as vulnerable and flawed creatures, but with a heavy dose of humor and innocence.

Funnyhouse of a Negro
As a part of our "Dans le avant-garde series," "Funnyhouse of a Negro" by Adrienne Kennedy, directed by Zaylin Yates, is a poetic and symbolic investigation into one woman's mind before her death. Sarah has created four different personas as a way to grapple with her own self-hatred: Queen Victoria, the Duchess of Hapsburg, Jesus, and Patrice Lumumba. With these four characters at her side, Sarah tries to make sense of her conception (from rape), her life without her parents, and the creeping insanity that she feels all around her.

Runtime: Approximately 1hr.
Following the show, we will host "My Blackness Is Too...," a symposium on colorism and self-identity. This symposium will feature a panel of special guests and focus on mental and emotional healing for black/brown men and women. Mental illness, self-hate, and the need to be socially accepted are issues that currently plague the black community, and it is time to have a conversation. Admission to the symposium will be free. If you plan to only attend the symposium, you will be admitted once the performance concludes.

Lucas Hnath’s bitingly funny sequel to Ibsen’s revolutionary masterpiece unfolds in a series of bristling stand-offs that reveal in Nora’s world, much like our own, behind every opinion there is a person, and a slamming door isn’t just an end, but also the chance for a new beginning. Starring Rachel Burttram, Brendan Powers and Elizabeth Dimon.
