PWYC Night at Theater J - Body Awareness by Annie Baker

Annie Baker is one of the hottest playwrights around right now, not just here but in New York as well.  Her Circle Mirror Transformation was really great at Studio a couple years ago. Theater J - at the DC Jewish Community Center - is bringing her earlier play, Body Awareness, to Washington DC for the first time.  It received some very good reviews when it played in New York a few years ago.

Pay-what-you-can tickets go on sale at 6; the play starts at 7:30.  We'll meet at 6:30 in the lobby near the box office on the second floor.  We'll try to buy seats as a group; last time it seemed like we were all in the same area, so it was nice.  But if you're with a friend and want to go ahead and buy your seats, please feel free.  We'll have that time before the play to socialize and wait for people who arrive (or grab a quick snack).  They usually have a short discussion after; but sometimes there are a few of us who get a late snack.

 

BODY AWARENESS

August 25 – September 23

by Annie Baker
Directed by Eleanor Holdridge

Featuring Michael Kramer, Susan Lynskey, Adi Stein and MaryBeth Wise

 A touching comedy from the Obie Award-winning author of Circle Mirror Transformation.  It’s Body Awareness Week at Shirley College, and the non-traditional Vermont family members Phyllis, Joyce and their possibly autistic son Jared are rocked by a visiting photographer and his ‘male gaze.’   As sexuality, identity, role modeling and political-correctness get stirred up, the results are both touching and hilarious.


“An engaging new comedy by a young playwright with a probing, understated voice…”— The New York Times

    the most convenient and friendly parking is at the JCC for $5-$10 ... considering it's PWYC, as a package, itsa great piece of mind ...

    For parking, if you can get there right at 6:30, 16th street is perfect. otherwise, there are no secrets. Just pay attention to signs.
