At long last, after delays caused by the pandemic, JANUARY will finally see the light of day. Produced by MultiStages in New York, directed by Lorca Peress, the production includes an artistic team made up of a projection artist; a choreographer; scenic, costume, sound, and lighting designers; music; social media creators, etc. The play is a journey into the heart and mind of Lauren, a single mother whose child has been killed by another child who brought a gun to school–and the tragedy forever changes not only her life but the life of Maya, the mother of the shooter. As Lauren’s mind fragments, she becomes increasingly obsessed with Maya, whom she blames for the tragedy. But who really is to blame? Couldn’t this happen to any of us? Aren’t we all in this together? JANUARY opens January 11 at the Theatre at the 14th Street Y in New York City, running in repertory with two other shows as part of the Femme Collective.
