Odyssey Theatre Ensemble

Odyssey Theatre Ensemble presents director Bart DeLorenzo’s
contemporary adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s Enemy of the
People. When a doctor discovers his town’s hot springs are
contaminated, his attempt to expose the truth pits him against
powerful interests—and transforms him into an “enemy of the
people.” Ripping Ibsen’s
classic out of the 19th century, DeLorenzo relocates the action to
America in 2026, where battles over public health, economic
survival, misinformation and political polarization have become
defining features of American life. Odyssey

A Noise Within Theatre

Power. Music. Survival. Legacy. Continuing its long-term commitment
to the work of August Wilson, A Noise Within presents Ma Rainey's
Black Bottom, the seventh of the 10 plays in Wilson's landmark
American Century Cycle to be produced by the company. Set during a
single, sweltering afternoon in 1927, “Mother of the Blues” Ma
Rainey fights to retain control of her music even as her ambitious
trumpeter, Levee, reaches for opportunity in a world determined to
hold him back. Against a backdrop of racism and inequity, Wilson’s
searing drama illuminates the struggle to claim dignity, voice and
self-worth.

24th Street Theatre

Scientists have discovered that trees communicate through vast
underground networks. But what if one had something to say to us? Set
in a park where only one ancient tree remains, Winter’s Bench
follows Gladys, an elderly woman who has spent a lifetime believing
the tree spoke to her when she was a child, and who waits, even now,
to hear its voice again. At a time when forests are disappearing and
loneliness is on the rise, Winter's Bench invites audiences
to consider what we lose when we stop listening—to nature, to one
another and to the stories that shape us. In keeping with 24th Street
Theatre's commitment to serve the surrounding community, all
performances will feature Spanish supertitles. 24th
Street Theatre, 1117 West 24th St.,
