Production photos for EXILE - the final play in the 2013 Mentor Project.
I so loved photographing at the Cherry Lane Theatre this year... it's too hard to just pick ten shots!
More photos for all four fantastic shows here
EXILE
April 3 - 13 EXILE by Nastaran Ahmadi mentored by Kia Corthron directed by Lisa Peterson featuring Rebecca Brooksher, Stephanie DiMaggio, Nadine Malouf, Arya Shahi, John C. Vennema An Iranian-American video game tester develops a game set in a post-nuclear-apocalypse Iran, even as her own relationship becomes a fallout zone. In this new play that tests the boundaries between fantasy and reality, loyalties shift quickly, and staying alive is the only way to win.
Production photos for LAWNPEOPLE - the newest Mentor Project show playing now, through March 23rd, at the Cherry Lane Theatre.
March 13 - 23 LAWNPEOPLE by Natalia Naman mentored by Eduardo Machado directed by Elena Araoz
featuring Liza Fernandez, Dea Julien, Bobby Plasencia, Stacey Sargeant, and C.K. Allen
Lawnpeople tracks the journey of Solymar, an undocumented Mexican immigrant working as a housekeeper for a wealthy black Southern couple. When Solymar’s mother is killed back home in Mexico as the result of gang violence, her pre-teen daughter is left across the border without family, while the odds of Solymar returning home to protect her daughter become increasingly unlikely. Meanwhile, the woman she works for becomes so emotionally involved in Solymar’s plight that her own marriage is threatened. Race, class, and the deepest matters of the heart are at odds in this play about love, ambition, and responsibility.
Production photos for JOE - playing NOW through March 2nd as part of the 2013 Mentor Project at Cherry Lane Theatre.
JOE written and performed by Elizabeth A. Davis mentored by Enda Walsh directed by Chris Henry
Joe is a play with music about a Native American, homeless man in his 60s, and his ten year encounter with Elizabeth, a small town, Texas pageant girl in college. Brought to life through the nostalgia of fiddle music, Joe is a story inspired by real events of two wild souls finding friendship and finally, family, in the most unlikely places.
February 20 - March 2
Production stills I snapped for PAS DE DEUX (lost my shoe) - playing NOW through March 2nd as part of the 2013 Mentor Project at Cherry Lane Theatre.
PAS DE DEUX (lost my shoe) written and performed by Lisa Ramirez mentored by Cynthia Hopkins directed by Bryan Davidson Blue
The bonds between siblings are as layered, complex, and true as all great loves. In the spring of 2002, at a time when she had only just overcome her own addiction, Ms. Ramirez lost her younger brother, a principal dancer with The Oakland Ballet, to alcoholism. Upon his death, she enrolled in a ballet class, learning the dances her brother had performed. As she retraced his steps, she not only stayed sober, she learned a new dance, a dance that ultimately was her liberation. Pas de Deux is the first play ever to be commissioned by Mentor Project.
February 20 - March 2
