Greenway Arts Alliance has announced its 2023-24 Anniversary Season at Greenway Court Theatre with programming beginning Nov.11.
“For over 25 years, Greenway has been rich in diversity in our programming, on every level,” said Whitney Weston, Greenway Arts Alliance co-founder and co-artistic director. “We are proud to again have a season that reflects these core values with productions like the world premiere of ‘American Born Confused Desi’ and ‘I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter,’ along with our Black History Month celebration, ‘Black Future Exhibition.”
“Returning to our stage is our crowd-pleasing, annual L.A. Get Down Festival now in its eighth year, and to kick off the summer, Greenway is pleased to present the world premiere of ‘Greenwood 1964’ written by Greenway Court Theatre’s producing director Mohammed Ali Ojarigi,” Greenway Arts Alliance co-founder and co-artistic director Pierson Blaetz added.
The multi-award-winning theater company will present the world premiere of “American Born Confused Desi,” a co-production with Greenway Arts Alliance’s resident performing arts company KriyaShakti, running from Nov. 11-19. Written by Lily Abja Cratsley and directed by J. Mehr Kaur, the production centers on three generations of Indian women who clash and comfort one another while preparing dinner.
Greenway Arts Alliance presents an adaptation of award-winning author Erika L. Sánchez’s “I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter” from Feb. 2-25. Adapted for the stage by Isaac Gómez and directed by Sara Guerrero, the play is a vibrant and impactful production that encapsulates the mind of a teenager seeking truth about their family dynamic and environment, in hopes of finding themselves.
For Black History Month in February, Greenway will celebrate with “Black Future Exhibition (II),” an exploration of Black culture and talent. Greenway will also present the 8th annual L.A. Get Down Festival, a celebration of Hip Hop and Spoken Word in conjunction with National Poetry Month on weekends in April 2024. Shihan Van Clief and Arianna Basco return as the festival’s directors.
Greenway’s 2023-24 season will conclude with the world premiere of “Greenwood 1964,” written by Mohammed Ali Ojarigi, running from June 7-30.
