PIECES OF THE MOON

OYL is thrilled to be diving back into PIECES OF THE MOON by Nick Flint.

A theatrical jazz riff about opposite sides of the American dream in the 60's. Told from the perspective of Gil Scott-Heron - legendary black poet, musician and spoken word artist - the rise of the Black Arts Movement is intermingled with the Apollo 11 moon mission for an explosion of music, science, race relations and human achievement.

Produced in partnership with Stages.

“stunning... a stirring mix of the past and the present.”
— Houstonia, Doni Wilson

Euripides’
Medea

OYL’s production of Medea will feature Akiko Aizawa in the role of Medea, and Georgia Tsangaraki as the head of the chorus. The production examines Medea as a force, speaking to the primal need for revenge in a world out of balance. Here we see Medea as eternal mother, as earth shaker, as prophet, and as destroyer of all we hold holy.
