Hometown Heroes: 75 Years of Extraordinary Greenbelt Women
June 13, 2015 at 2:00pm

Location: The Greenbelt Museum, 10B Crescent Road, Greenbelt MD 20770.

Established in 1937, Greenbelt, MD was built by the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration during the Depression as an experiment in modern town planning. In observation of the official 75th anniversary of Greenbelt, alight dance theater performed Hometown Heroes: 75 Years of Extraordinary Greenbelt Women in June of 2012 at the Greenbelt Museum’s historic house.

The sold out performances honored Greenbelt women, past and present, young and old – whose contributions have made this city such a dynamic and inspiring place to live. Choreographed by Angella Foster in collaboration with the dancers, this site-specific dance installation was created specifically for the Greenbelt Museum home and its surrounding grounds. alight dance theater will perform the work again on June 13, 2015 with four showings beginning at 2pm.

The work explores the experiences of the women who lived in Greenbelt as young mothers and homemakers in the late 1930ʼs and early 1940ʼs as “pioneers” of the cooperative spirit of the community. Hometown Heroes features an original sound score, including interviews with six women as found in the oral history archives of the Greenbelt Museum, as well as music, advertisements and radio programs of the era. Because of the size of the Museum house and the nature of the work, space is extremely limited, so all tickets must be purchased in advance.

Down The Road by the Hard Bargain Players, Jun 12-27

Down The Road by the Hard Bargain Players, Jun 12-27

Down The Road
By Lee Blessing
Directed by Brian Donohue
June 12-27

Location: Hard Bargain Players

Performances: Fridays and Saturdays, June 12, 13, 19, 20, 26 and 27 at 8:00 PM

Synopsis: DOWN THE ROAD centers on a convicted serial killer and the husband and wife writing team hired to help him write an account of his crimes. The killer, Bill Reach, has admitted to the murders of nineteen women, but there may have been more. Over many weeks of interviews, the couple — Dan and Iris Henniman — grow more and more uncertain of the ethics of what they are doing. Are they simply relating terrifying events, or are they helping readers consume rape, murder and mutilation as if they are consuming any other product of our society? Are they, in fact, helping to turn Bill Reach into a celebrity?

Dream Island

Saturday, June 6, 2015 at 8:00pm
Sunday, June 7, 2015 at 8:00pm

Location: Joe’s Movement Emporium

A highly charged physical expression, ‘Dream Island’ is part carnival, part laboratory, part archeological trip. Melding movement, text, music, and installation, it concocts thirteen vignettes infused with playful, humorous, explosive, amorphous, and dark absurdity. Initially inspired by a Japanese theme park built on the buried landfill called ‘Dream Island’, this piece digs, examines, and reveals layers of debris, getting deeper and more distant from the reality. The audience is asked to bare witness as five characters attempt to search, reconstruct, and uncover memories and histories, both tangible and fleeting, personal and collective.

Direction and structure by Naoko Maeshiba, created by Emily Hall, Sarah Lloyd, Donald Roderick, Danni Tsuboi, & Naoko Maeshiba, sound design and light installation by Khristian Weeks, environment design by Khristian Weeks, Naoko Maeshiba, & Sarah Lloyd, Lighting design by Helen Garcia Alton.

Admission $25
