What We Choose to Breathe centers on three young souls smoking on a Manhattan rooftop and attempting to find an escape from the unrelenting weight of the mechanics of our society.
Love, Science, and Magic: New Plays From Emerging Playwrights, a festival of six new one-acts from various writers, was performed at The Tank on February 14th and 15th, 2023.
About the festival: “These plays are diverse in style and content, ranging from experimental and mythic to comedic and humanistic. However, all of them ruminate somehow on the holy triad: love, science and magic—which we believe exist at the cornerstone of human experience.”
