We are Proud to Present a Presentation...
Company One / From USA
A rehearsal room descends from collaborative to absurd as a group of idealistic actors attempts to dramatize the little-known first genocide of the 20th century in this exhilaratingly irreverent play from Boston’s own Company One.
The personal and political, humorous and harrowing collide in this exhilaratingly irreverent play from Boston’s own Company One. A rehearsal room descends from collaborative to absurd as a group of idealistic actors attempts to dramatize the little-known first genocide of the 20th century. But as the ensemble wrestles with this remote story, tensions mount, and their exploration hits much closer to home than anyone ever expected. One of The New York Times top ten plays of 2012, We Are Proud to Present a Presentation… is an innovative, fast-paced and uncomfortably funny take on race, empathy and the devastating consequences of our best intentions.
