PUBLIC CHARGE traces Julissa Reynoso’s journey from her childhood immigration to the U.S. to her pivotal role in the State Department under Secretary Hillary Clinton. This new play follows her frontline work during the Haiti earthquake, the complexities of immigration and diplomacy, and a high‑stakes effort to free an unjustly imprisoned American in Cuba. Created by Ambassador Reynoso and playwright Michael J. Chepiga and directed by Tony Award winner Doug Hughes, it offers a rare, first‑hand look at public servants striving to make government a force for good on a turbulent world stage.
In the moonlit glow of dawn, a young wanderer named Yoah descends from her aerial silks into a circle of Shinto spirits, made manifest as mysterious maestros of cirque! Hypnotic projections play in sync with the performers as they send juggling balls soaring, conjure confidence atop a tower of chairs and fling their glowing diabolos to the heavens in hopeful arcs of neon. Set to a dramatic medley of traditional Japanese drumming and thumping electronica, this wordless symphony of circus will dazzle your breath away.
In 1925, English playwright Noël Coward caused a mild moral panic with his play Fallen Angels, in which two upper-class women toast to their premarital sexual dalliances with the same man. The risque play drew a rebuke from the theater censor office of the Lord Chamberlain. A century later, the fizzy scandal makes for rich material for Rose Byrne and Kelli O’Hara, who will play the two conspiratorial women (whose husbands are away for the day!) in Scott Ellis’s revival of Coward’s groundbreaking comedy.
