12 Angry Women

When a young man from the wrong side of the tracks is on trial for the murder of his father, the 12 members of the jury must overcome their own prejudices and assumptions to reach a consensus on his fate. The verdict is nearly unanimous, but a single dissenter forces them to face their own prejudices and unite their conflicting personalities to find true justice. Reginald Rose's riveting drama is traditionally performed as the Emmy-winning Twelve Angry Men, but this adaptation by Sherman L. Sergel features an all-female jury. Catch all the edge-of-your-seat drama in this riveting production of Twelve Angry Women at New York City's Roebuck Theater at Times Square Arts Center. Lourdes Severny played Juror 11.

VILLAGE MY HOME

In a chaotic business world, do we know the difference between astrophysics and Buddha? Can it all be solved with yoga? Featuring characters at various points of their lives, Village, My Home questions how we choose New York City and what are the comforts that draw us back home. We meet the Old Woman, a matriarch who loves to paint and remembers the horrors of greater storms. We get a glimpse of out-of-towners and travelers from other boroughs, willing to take the City. Just when you yearn for your fax machine, we meet a new school, techno-tribal Computer Geek who threatens to interrupt the very subways that connect us every day.

With theatrical movement and state-of-the-art sound design, Village, My Home promises to warm the heart and calm the most unsettling times. More information can be found at www.facebook.com/VillageMyHome (https://www.facebook.com/VillageMyHome);. Tickets are available at SmartTix.

WOMEN OF NEW YORK

Women of New York (http://www.womenofnewyorkplay.com/); was an ambitious project, with nearly 20 characters, a funky mix of actors and non-actor New Yorkers with diverse ages and backgrounds. That has been one of the key factors in our shows with 4thU-Vday through the years. Now we are 4th U Artivists (http://www.4thuartivists.com/);, carrying the same mission; creating and producing artistic projects/events to raise awareness and funds to stop violence against women and girls. Women of New York was written with the same mission to be premiered by 4th U Artivists. Proceeds benefited three amazing non profits working for women in need; Her Justice (Provides free legal advice for women in need), Restore NYC (Provides services for the victims of sex trafficking) and V-Day (A global movement founded by Eve Ensler the author of The Vagina Monologues).
