Diverse online offerings to watch this weekend – DC Metro Theater Arts
Posted By admin on June 12, 2020
Even though its remote, you can still keep your connection to the theater strong with a diverse selection of virtual offerings this weekend. From livestream concerts, original cast readings, and conversations with Broadway stars to videos of new song releases and previously recorded full-stage performances, theres something for everyone. In addition to my top picks for Friday, June 12, of Finishing the Hat at 3 pm, and one in two at 7 (both of which I wrote about earlier, in separate features), the following choices represent a range of works to watch, to contemplate, and to enjoy.
Pipeline In solidary with #BlackLivesMatter, Broadway HD a digital subscription service offering streamed recordings of live performances is placing its 2018 release of Dominique Morisseaus Pipeline above its paywall, for everyone to stream for free, with or without a subscription. The story of Nya, a Black inner-city high-school teacher with concerns about her teenage son, Omari, following a controversial incident at his upstate private school, played at Lincoln Centers Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater in 2017, where it was directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz and recorded as part of the Live from Lincoln Center series. In lieu of a fee, the founders of Broadway HD encourage viewers to make voluntary donations, as they have done, to Color of Change,NAACP Legal Defense Fund, andSouthern Poverty Law Center. To watch the timely 87-minute drama, go online.
The New World Mexican-born and New York-based musician, composer, arranger, and music director Jaime Lozano one of five artists selected for the 2020 Joes Pub Working Group residency at The Public Theater just released a vibrant new video this month of his bilingual all-Latino version of the titular number from Jason Robert Browns 1995 theatrical song cycle Songs for a New World. Featuring remote performances (mixed by Demin Cant and edited by Elaine Del Valle) of vocals by Andra Burns, Danny Bolro, Genny Lis Padilla, Natalie Toro, and Cedric Leiba Jr., with Jess Altamira on piano, Randy Landau on bass, and Dayron Cartas on percussion, the songs themes of arrival, departure, lifes choices, and the moment of decision hold personal meaning for Lozano (who wrote the Spanish lyrics), as a member of the American immigrant community. He noted that This show changed my life when I learned about it in 2005, as a young musical-theater director and composer in his native hometown of Monterrey. Tune in to see The New World on YouTube, or click on the video above.
