Calendar for TheatreWorks @ The Square 2017 - 2018 Season May 25 - June 3 Emerald Theatre Co. presents inclusIVitY – the Ivy Bottini Story Written by Alvin Schnupp Directed by Den-Nickolas Schaffer Smith Emerald Theatre Company proudly presents the regional premiere of inclusIVitY! Written in rhyme as a series of poems and songs, this play is a tribute to Ivy Bottini. Ivy Bottini is a legendary activist. For 16 years, she was married, worked as an artist at Newsday and raised two daughters. She co-founded the New York City Chapter of NOW (National Organization for Women) with Betty Friedan, but Ivy was expelled from the organization when she came out as a lesbian. Ivy moved to LA, wrote and toured the country in a one-woman show, fought against Proposition 6 (An initiative designed to remove gay teachers from the classroom) and Proposition 64 (An initiative to create a registry of HIV+ people, possibly quarantining them). Ivy hosted “It’s a Gay Life” on public radio. She fought for AIDS awareness and was an amazing human rights proponent. She is full of sass, spunk, humor and blazing honesty.

Calendar for TheatreWorks @ The Evergreen 2017 - 2018 Season May 11 – 27 Cloud9 Memphis presents Annapurna, by Sharr White Directed by Julia Hinson Featuring Susan Howe and Gordon Ginsberg After twenty years apart, Emma tracks Ulysses to a trailer park in the middle of nowhere for a final reckoning. What unfolds is a visceral and profound meditation on love and loss with the simplest of theatrical elements: two people in one room. A breathtaking story about the longevity of love. "Sharr White's Annapurna is a comic and gripping duet…The closer the characters get to understanding what drove them apart, the more engrossed we become in watching them draw together." —San Francisco Chronicle. "What if you had experienced the defining moment of your life—but couldn't remember it? Sharr White's remarkable two-person play Annapurna…deals with just that dilemma, as well as other imponderables such as the vagaries of love and the philosophical clarity of impending death." —LA Times.
