The Sandy Monologues

Falconworks Theater Company will present The Sandy Monologues, an original work using spoken word, song and movement that was inspired by the actual words of Hurricane Sandy survivors. This production, slated for June 2016, will tackle issues of race & class by zooming in on the lives of a diverse handful of residents who weathered the freak storm that raged from Hispaniola to the Great Lakes. The play owes gratitude to the EMMP Tell Your Story Project interviews and the article Race, Class and Disaster Gentrification by Zoltán Glück.

Featuring: Thaddaeus Abbott, Luis Arzu, Mathew Bautista, Zakaria Bellahcene, Beatriz Cavalieri, Josephine Cho, Célia Diagana, Margot Fletcher, Jenni Lark, Helen Lingaard, Chevy Martinez, Dontae McCoy Freeman, Mateo Morel, Josephine Pizzino, Ashley St Juliette, Jonathan Vanderzon, Mateo Vidals and Chance Warren Dixon.

Written and conceived by Reg Flowers in collaboration with Co-Director Meg Bouchard.

Production: Alex Siesse (music direction), Christopher Studley (lighting design), Anne ONeil (costume design), Rhianna Lehman (publicity), Ashley Lopez (production intern) and Christopher Hammett (Producer).
