WHAT
Our first ever “Beyond Shakespeare” production presents “Anon(ymous)” by Naomi Iizuka.
Separated from his mother, a young refugee called Anon journeys through the United States, encountering a wide variety of people — some kind, some dangerous and cruel — as he searches for his family. From a sinister one-eyed butcher to beguiling barflies to a sweatshop, Anon must navigate through a chaotic, ever-changing landscape in this entrancing adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey.
Our courageous cast is made up of refugees and native Buffalonians, youth ages 9-19. This is a trip through The Odyssey you will not soon forget.
WHY
For years our students have asked to keep working on theater year-long. We are making it happen this year with a big-hearted ensemble and soulful script.
WHEN
2 Thursdays in February
February 6 & February 13, 2020 @ 7:00pm
Doors will open at 6:00pm~ First come, first Seated.
There are no advance ticket sales. For the past 11 seasons, Peace Of The City has offered only “PAY WHAT YOU CAN” TICKETS so that everyone can enjoy Shakespeare and good theater. Your contributions towards Shakespeare Comes to (716) are necessary to continue this program for the students of Buffalo.
