SUMMARY:KAF Artist in Residence Mario Farwell presents "Broom"
DESCRIPTION:Broom is an experimental play dealing with the origins and ramifications of police brutality in America. The play is structured around the events of the brutal assault on a Haitian American by the New York Police Department. Abner Louima was arrested in 1997 and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. He was taken to the 70th precinct in Brooklyn\, NY\, and soon after his arrival at the precinct was taken to a bathroom and sodomize with a broomstick by two of the arresting officers. This event caused outrage and protests in the city which continued for weeks. The play will explore the history of racism in America – specifically how colonialism has given birth to white supremacy\, thereby leading to a rigid class structure where minorities are at the bottom and at the mercy of the whims of the police.

SUMMARY:ANOMALOUS EXPERIENCE
DESCRIPTION:The Midnight Company presents the World Premiere of an out-of-this world play\, ANOMALOUS EXPERIENCE by the Company’s Artistic Director\, Joe Hanrahan.  (Two Hanrahan scripts were nominated by the St. Louis Theatre Critics Circle in the Outstanding New Play category for the 2020/21 seasons – TINSEL TOWN and NOW PLAYING THIRD BASE FOR THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS…BOND\, JAMES BOND.) \nANOMALOUS EXPERIENCE depicts a public presentation by a prominent psychiatrist who has been treating numerous patients who believe they’ve experienced a chilling incident – abduction by a UFO.  The presentation includes disturbing sessions with abductees\, along with the psychiatrist’s thoughtful overview of the phenomenon.  And it offers this in the context of the  recent\, sensational sightings of unusual aircraft by military pilots\, and the subsequent investigations demanded by congress and the public. \nThe play will be directed by Morgan Maul-Smith.  ANOMALOUS EXPERIENCE is based on true stories.  The alien abduction phenomenon is a real mystery.  A modern ghost story. \n(PARKING TIP – simultaneous to ANOMALOUS EXPERIENCE\, HAMILTON will be running at The Fox Theatre.  When on your way to the .ZACK theatre\, it would be best to avoid Grand Avenue.  There’s ample parking on the .ZACK lot and on Locust.)

SUMMARY:Alarm Will Sound: Post-Acoustica
DESCRIPTION:“Mind-blowing” – Remix Magazine\n“Bleeding edge virtuosos” – Pitchfork\n“…as close to being a rock band as a chamber orchestra can be.” – NY Times \nAlarm Will Sound performs music of Aphex Twin\, SOPHIE\, Jlin\, King Britt\, and more in the premiere of Post-Acoustica\, the follow-up to 2005’s groundbreaking project Acoustica: Alarm Will Sound performs Aphex Twin. This time around\, in addition to re-imagining music by Richard D. James\, Alarm Will Sound worked directly with electronica artists to create acoustic reworkings of music originally intended to be performed by machines. The result sees the musicians of AWS using helium\, bicycle pumps\, Dremel tools\, and more to “restem” these tracks to be performed live. \nAlarm Will Sound’s classical skill and limitless curiosity have attracted musical collaborators like Bjork\, The Dirty Projectors\, Medeski Martin and Wood\, and Tyshawn Sorey. Their recent double album\, For George Lewis | Autoschediasms\, was named a top recording of 2021 by NPR\, The New York Times\, Bandcamp\, and others. \n  \n

Tickets for the in-person event are not available to purchase at Left Bank Books’ physical location. \n**Proof of vaccination and mask will be required for entry to the in person event.** Guests will need to bring a photo ID AND either their physical vaccination card or a photo of their vaccination card. \nONLINE: To join us for the virtual presentation\, purchase a copy of Harlem Shuffle from Left Bank Books either online\, over the phone\, or in the store. Please provide us with a valid email address for sending you the event link. We will email the link to join virtually the day of the event. \nABOUT THE BOOK \nFrom the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys\, a gloriously entertaining novel of heists\, shakedowns\, and rip-offs set in Harlem in the 1960s. \nRay Carney was only slightly bent when it came to being crooked… To his customers and neighbors on 125th street\, Carney is an upstanding salesman of reasonably priced furniture\, making a decent life for himself and his family. He and his wife Elizabeth are expecting their second child\, and if her parents on Striver’s Row don’t approve of him or their cramped apartment across from the subway tracks\, it’s still home. \nFew people know he descends from a line of uptown hoods and crooks\, and that his fa ade of normalcy has more than a few cracks in it. Cracks that are getting bigger all the time. \nCash is tight\, especially with all those installment-plan sofas\, so if his cousin Freddie occasionally drops off the odd ring or necklace\, Ray doesn’t ask where it comes from. He knows a discreet jeweler downtown who doesn’t ask questions\, either. \nThen Freddie falls in with a crew who plan to rob the Hotel Theresa–the Waldorf of Harlem–and volunteers Ray’s services as the fence. The heist doesn’t go as planned; they rarely do. Now Ray has a new clientele\, one made up of shady cops\, vicious local gangsters\, two-bit pornographers\, and other assorted Harlem lowlifes. \nThus begins the internal tussle between Ray the striver and Ray the crook. As Ray navigates this double life\, he begins to see who actually pulls the strings in Harlem. Can Ray avoid getting killed\, save his cousin\, and grab his share of the big score\, all while maintaining his reputation as the go-to source for all your quality home furniture needs? \nHarlem Shuffle’s ingenious story plays out in a beautifully recreated New York City of the early 1960s. It’s a family saga masquerading as a crime novel\, a hilarious morality play\, a social novel about race and power\, and ultimately a love letter to Harlem. \nBut mostly\, it’s a joy to read\, another dazzling novel from the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning Colson Whitehead. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nColson Whitehead is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of ten works of fiction and nonfiction\, and is a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction\, for The Nickel Boys and The Underground Railroad\, which also won the National Book Award. A recipient of MacArthur and Guggenheim fellowships\, he lives in New York City. \nG’Ra Asim\, a writer and musician\, is an assistant professor of nonfiction writing at Ithaca College. He has served as writing director at the African American Policy Forum and as graduate teaching fellow in Columbia’s Undergraduate Writing Program. His work has appeared in Slate\, Salon\, Guernica\, The Baffler\, and The New Republic. When not writing prose or teaching\, he sings\, plays bass and writes lyrics for NYC DIY pop punk band babygotbacktalk\, who were named one of AfroPunk’s “Top 8 Punkest Bands on the Planet Right Now.”
