City Theatre at City of Asylum!

"Simona's Search" A New Play by Martín Zimmerman Directed by Tlaloc Rivas Presented in partnership with City Theatre's Momentum Reading Series Thursday, December 12 7 p.m.  City of Asylum @ Alphabet City 40 W. North Avenue FREE!   Click here for Free Tickets!   "Zimmerman's text is fast-paced, and riddled with the wounds of humanity."   - Pop Dust     At City of Asylum, we believe theater is a powerful and necessary literary art. This reading will be followed by a post-show discussion with the playwright and creative team. Audiences are encouraged to engage with the work, and experience theater's power to spark meaningful dialogue about complex issues. Simona's father is a mystery. As a child, curious about his life in Latin America before moving to the US, she became obsessed with discovering his secrets, dedicating her life to studying the science of trauma, while her own thoughts and dreams are haunted by a shadowy figure–is her father's past attempting to run her down? A moving and poetic look at family, legacy, and persecution, Simona's Search asks, "Can pain be passed from generation to generation?" This reading will take place downstairs in our intimate Word Cellar.     Click here for Free Tickets!   Martín Zimmerman is a multi-ethnic, bilingual playwright and screenwriter whose plays include Seven Spots On The Sun, On The Exhale, White Tie Ball, The Making Of A Modern Folk Hero,The Solid Sand Below, and Let Me Count The Ways, and have been produced or developed at The Kennedy Center, Goodman Theatre, Cincinnati Playhouse In The Park, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, La Jolla Playhouse, Alley Theatre, Roundabout Underground, Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, Traverse Theatre, LCT3, New York Theatre Workshop, Victory Gardens Theater, The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's National Playwrights Conference, Philadelphia Theatre Company, Marin Theatre Company, The Playwrights' Center, Alliance Theatre, A.C.T.

ISU Lingo Table Event this Thursday!

Hi,

 

I am reaching out to you on behalf of the International Student Union at CMU. 

 

On Thursday, November 14th 5:00-7:00 pm, ISU will be hosting our 8th semesterly LingoTable event. Students of all levels are welcome to stop in for however long they like to engage in conversations in any language of their choice. 

 

This year we will be offering: Spanish, French, German, Greek, and Mandarin, among others. The event will take place in the University Center Peter-McKenna.

 

We would truly appreciate if you could let your students know of this event in class so that they can further practice through participation in casual conversation. If possible, you could encourage students by offering some extra credit for your class. It is our hope that they will attend in groups to make it a better experience.

 

If you have the time, please feel free to join us! We would be more than happy to have expert speakers help us engage in conversations.

 

Thank you for your time,
