<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Before we get to our usual local audio described events, I\u2019d
like to spotlight two virtual AD workshops presented by Dark Room Ballet. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">For those unfamiliar, Dark Room Ballet is an organization
that both provides accessible dance classes to the blind and visually impaired
community, and also facilitates workshops related to a wide variety of arts and
culture topics, all with audio description at the forefront. I\u2019m pleased to
spotlight one workshop, which will occur once in March and once in April.
Entitled Improvising with our Ecosystems, and facilitated by local artist
Shannon Brooks. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">\u201cPractice will begin with grounding into our bodies, guided
imaginative eco-embodiments and learning different approaches to improvising
with movement, audio-description and sound. Then we will play with, touch,
taste, listen, and smell materials found in our own everyday to celebrate and
map out the landscapes of our sensorial experiences. Our time will conclude by
folding our somatic explorations into our improvisation practice and sharing
imperfect audio descriptions to reflect on our practice together.</p>

singers, and ten composers join forces to make opera in a brand-new way. In his
first opera libretto, Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning playwright Michael R.
Jackson (A Strange Loop) traces the life of a woman named Sue. Sue\u2019s life, from
the mundane to the extraordinary, unfolds before us, with each decade scored by
a different musical luminary. Opera Philadelphia favorites Missy Mazzoli
(Breaking the Waves, The Listeners), Rene Orth (10 Days in a Madhouse), and Nico
Muhly (Dark Sisters) return alongside a panoply of company debuts from notable
composers, like GRAMMY® nominee Nathalie Joachim. The production stars
MacArthur Genius and cabaret icon Justin Vivian Bond, with Zack Winokur and
Raja Feather Kelly directing, and conductor Caren Levine making her Opera
Philadelphia debut.\u201d</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Shakespeare\u2019s classic political tragedy is reborn as a
gripping contemporary thriller in this bold new adaptation by Tyler Dobrowsky.
Caesar stays true to Shakespeare\u2019s original language but trims the story to its
leanest, most urgent core\u2014cutting to the heart of ambition, authoritarianism,
and the cost of protecting democracy.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Brutus, a principled Roman senator, joins a conspiracy to
assassinate Julius Caesar, fearing the rise of tyranny. But once the deed is
done, the fragile dream of liberty spirals into violence, unrest, and civil
war. As alliances shift and Rome descends into chaos, the play asks: Who gets
to hold power? And at what price?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Running just 95 minutes, Caesar is fast-paced and fiercely
relevant, inviting audiences to draw parallels between ancient Rome and the
political tensions of our world today.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In a season about what it means to be home, Caesar asks: who
gets to shape the future of a nation? And what are we willing to risk to defend

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Climb aboard for this fresh, big-hearted comedy that pairs
two unlikely partners in an equally unlikely setting: the cab of a New York
City garbage truck. Danny is a gruff, seasoned worker with a soft side he\u2019d
rather hide. Marlowe is an Ivy-educated
newbie, has mysteriously joined his route. The two spar and \u201ctrash talk\u201d
through their first shifts together but soon find common ground in the dignity
of overlooked work, parenting, and mongo\u2014the art of finding treasure in other
people\u2019s trash. A funny, deeply human story about what we throw away and what\u2019s
worth holding onto.\u201d</p>
