SUMMARY:New Rep presents New Voices Theatre Festival
DESCRIPTION:New Rep’s first New Voices Theatre Festival will feature three twenty-minute plays directed by Jaime Carrillo\, Inés De La Cruz\, and Naomi Ibasitas. Each two-person cast will bring these stories to life in the intimate Black Box Theater at the Mosesian Center for the Arts. \nPlay summaries: \nAURORA by Ramón Esquivel \nThe play takes place on an Autumn Night on the Aurora Bridge in Seattle in 2010. Kai has come here to end their life\, and Halen tries to stop the attempt. We learn that Halen committed suicide in the same spot two years earlier\, and has reappeared to support Kai in this time of crisis. This play employs magical realism in an ultimately uplifting story about depression\, grief\, metaphysics\, and the transcendent nature of love. \nORGANIC by Jenna Jane \nIn a future where everyone is enhancing their bodies with the latest tech\, 81-year-old Donna Goldman is an anomaly – she’s 100 percent organic. But now\, there’s a problem: She’s dying. And a bionic body part is the only cure. Will cyborg Dr. Flores persuade her to abandon her sense of self to survive? This sci-fi drama explores the relationship between the body and the self. \nBY ANY OTHER NAME by Erin Lerch \nThe play takes place in the age of space travel. In the aftermath of the disaster that destroyed her home\, sole survivor Amaranth must decide who and how she needs to be in order to survive beneath the weight of others’ expectations. \nTickets are $25 for Adults\, and $10 for students and can be purchased at Calendar | New Rep

SUMMARY:Newton Piano Summit 2022
DESCRIPTION:May 14th\, 1 pm. Harold Charon\, Explorations in Latin Music.\nOne of the things we try to do with the Summit is feature talent before they get Grammys\, world attention\, and command fees well above our current budgets\, and yes this has happened!

Currently\, he is finishing his studies at Berklee\, majoring in jazz composition and performance. His music features influences from Latin\, Salsa\, Jazz and Timba. Timba is a Cuban genre of music based on Cuban son with salsa\, American funk/R&B\, and the strong influence of Afro-Cuban folkloric music. Chucho Valdez\, bandleader of Irakere is considered one of the founders of the style. He’s bringing some amazing talent with him including Trumpeter Richard Stanmeyer who also studies at Berklee on a grant from the college’s Presidential Scholarship Committee. His teachers include Tia Fuller\, Marquis Hill\, Jason Palmer\, Charlie Lewis\, and Jeff Stout among others. He performs regularly around town at Wally’s Jazz Café\, the House of Blues\, the Middle East\, PAX East\, and The Lilypad.
