two unlikely partners in an equally unlikely setting: the cab of a New York

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>

brand-new spin on Shakespeare's comedic love pentangle</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">A shipwreck, mistaken identities, and tangled desires set
the stage for a brand-new spin on Shakespeare\u2019s sharp and subversive comedy.
Andrew Watring\u2019s directorial debut at People\u2019s Light sets our scene in a
luxurious resort, a modern playground for the upper crust. After Viola washes
ashore and disguises herself to navigate this strange new world, she quickly
finds herself caught in a dizzying love triangle. As the resort\u2019s eccentric
inhabitants start to disrupt the order of things, the servants and the served
collide in a riotous, romantic story of revelry and rebellion.\u201d</p>

connect, stretch into, and experiment with the glory of our senses. Practice
will begin with grounding into our bodies, guided imaginative eco-embodiments

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>

world premiere from Pulitzer Prize winner James Ijames (Fat Ham), Wilderness
Generation, directed by PTC Artistic Director Taibi Magar, invites us into a
family reunion layered with memory, music, and the emotional weight of what we
inherit and what we choose to carry forward.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Over one summer weekend in the Tidewater South, four cousins
gather at their grandmother\u2019s home\u2014a place steeped in family lore and unspoken
truths. As laughter gives way to old wounds and long-buried secrets, what
begins as a celebration becomes a reckoning.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Through razor-sharp dialogue, Ijames explores the cycles of
silence and survival that define a generation raised in the shadows of
trauma\u2014and the strength it takes to imagine something different. With echoes of
Lorraine Hansberry\u2019s A Raisin in the Sun and Anton Chekhov\u2019s The Cherry
Orchard, Wilderness Generation is a deeply resonant, Black Southern family
drama brimming with humor, heartbreak, and healing.\u201d</p>
