The Play:"This World Is Not My Home."
By The Paducah Mining Co. For me was hard to watch
many truths were laid bare.

by Joe B. On a Friday night some few kind souls invited Poor Magazine folks to an off Broadway play at Venue 9 252 Ninth St. at 7 pm. The Play:"This World Is Not My Home.")about the many faces, ideas, about people, societal, reactions to poverty. (It has an after-play- discussion Q&A show complete with mayoral candidate). Those two little things are important yes,but the play is riveting in the actors/actresses portrayal of our mercantile republic.
I have not been to many off Broadway creations that are raw, few props, and the audience using sheer imagination in place of the finished, expensive sort of full dress-in-your-best clothes outings. It may be their last night playing there it seems the landlord wants to make office buildings out of the space. Not to worry, the place was too small, bathroom in front of the stage area, and they had to expand anyway so it could be at good omen. Guess I’ll check out the off-B plays making time for it before they get the flash-glamour treatment. Email: askjoe@poormagazine.org |
