“When I started writing the project,” Parks said in a statement, “on Day One, I wanted to create something that we could experience together, whenever it was safe for us to be physically together again. Performed in the intimate Joe’s Pub music venue, Joe’s Pub, Plays For the Plague Year will be a theatrical concert featuring Parks’ music and plays, and is described as being “both a personal story of one family’s daily lives, as well as a sweeping account of all we faced as a city, a nation, and a global community.” “What emerged is a breathtaking anthology of plays and songs that chronicle our collective experience and the hope and perseverance that occurred throughout that troubling year.” On March 13, 2020, as theaters went into lockdown, Parks “picked up her pen and her guitar and set out to write a play every day,” says the Public in today’s announcement. The new work has its origins in the early days of the Covid pandemic. Parks is the Public Theater Writer-in-Residence. The casting was announced today by Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director and Patrick Willingham, Executive Director. The production will run through Sunday, November 27. 4 at the Public’s Joe’s Pub venue, with an opening night on Wednesday, Nov. Alicia Keys Stage Musical 'Hell's Kitchen' In Development At New York's Public Theaterĭirected by Niegel Smith, Plays For the Plague Year will begin a strictly limited three-week engagement on Friday, Nov.
