A.P.E. @ Hawley: What We See: Karinne Keithley's Long Bright Day

Northampton Center for the Arts (33 Hawley St., Northampton MA 01060)

Art + Entertainment

July 14-21: Long Bright Day is Karinne Keithley's new play about political avatars and human community. A great leader decides to quit making pro-forma public statements so she can commune with an immensity on a boat by her lake house and rule her country in peace. A small community of political exiles wait and wait for their work to produce change. Everyone's done saying things the way they always said them. Everyone's watching the television. If they had bigger imaginations, they could say more. Or at least so says a chorus of cats out in the interplanetary light. Public showing will be scheduled at the end of the week. What We See A.P.E. @ Hawley is launching "What We See", a month long project of five theater works in development at 33 Hawley Street and SCDT from July 7 - August 4, 2019.. "What We See" is designed to provide support for the evolving work of these five artists and artist groups. Each project will be provided a week of time and space in the flexible performance space at 33 Hawley St. and at SCDT, and will culminate in public showings at the end of each week. Each project was selected because of its unique vision- use of spoken language and movement, use of other mediums, choice of performers and audiences they hope to reach. "What We See" will assist each project deepen their investigations of what makes theater.
