In early 2007, George Packer published an article in The New Yorker about Iraqi interpreters who jeopardized their lives on behalf of the Americans in Iraq, with little or no protection or security from the U.S. The article drew national attention to the humanitarian crisis and the moral scandal. Based on Packer’s interviews in Baghdad, Betrayed tells the story of three young Iraqis—two men and one woman—who are motivated to risk everything by America’s promise of freedom. Betrayed explores the complex relationships among the Iraqis themselves and between them and their American supervisor, as they struggle to find purpose while a country collapses around them. Betrayed is directed by Pippin Parker and features Jeremy Beck, Aadya Bedi, Mike Doyle, Ramsey Faragallah, Sevan Greene and Waleed F. Zuaiter.
Nominated for the Lucille Lortel award for Outstanding Play!
“The clarity of the writing, the urgency of the story being told, and the fine performances give the play a sharp dramatic impact and a plain-spoken beauty.”

Gangsters, gamblers, hookers, and cops lit up the screen to create the Golden Age of Japanese yakuza films. Their tales of chivalry, revenge, betrayal, and the thrill of violence captured the spirit of the post-war generation. Join us for a look into the flowering of the Japanese yakuza movie.

The Flushing Remonstrance was drafted in 1657 and signed by a group of Flushing residents who were offended by the persecution of religions outside the established Reformed Dutch Church. More than a show about the distant past, the exhibition seeks to explore the continued relevance of this unique moment of tolerance within our distinctively diverse environment. Embracing the notion that art can and should actively address and engage contemporary issues, QMA has invited five contemporary artists - Emmy Catedral, Takashi Horisaki, Sara Rahbar, José Ruiz, and Tattfoo Tan - to partner with religious institutions in Flushing to create works that respond to religious dialogue and exchange.

Taking a cue from the space industry, Jay Scheib's latest work pits hard Science against Philip K. Dick as interplanetary speculation runs amok, the indigenous population gets screwed, and a strange "anomalous" kid seems to hold all the answers. Developed at MIT with a team of Mars researchers and anthropologists, a mission to colonize the Red Planet is revving up for 2017. Imagining what might happen once we get there, Scheib drops seven performers into a simulated Martian society. Can't make ends meet on Earth? Consider a one-way ticket to Mars!

Master storyteller Mike Daisey sinks his razor-sharp wit into a subject he knows well: the American theater, from the sublimely crass to the genuinely ugly. Daisey takes stock of the dystopian state of theater in America: a shrinking world with smaller audiences every year. Fearlessly implicating himself and the system he works within, Daisey seeks answers to essential and dangerous questions about the art we’re making, the legacy we leave the future, and who it is we believe we’re speaking to.

"Ferociously entertaining" – The New York Times
"A theatrical experience that claws at the imagination for days afterwards" - Variety
Direct from a critically acclaimed run at last summer's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, The Walworth Farce makes its American Premiere at St. Ann's Warehouse. "London-based Irishman Enda Walsh has outdone himself with a complex, dark, and emotionally rich master stroke of meta-theatricality" (Variety). This new play, disguised as an old-fashioned high farce, complete with rapid costume changes, cross-dressing, and mistaken identity, combines hilarious moments with shocking realism, as it delivers an achingly tender insight into what happens when we become stuck in the stories we tell ourselves about our lives. The Walworth Farce is a contrast in frenetic, madcap slapstick and the deeper, darker concerns that are revealed when an outsider enters the realm – "a triumph of suspense and of staging, enacted unforgettably." - Variety

Joan Tower is one of the most respected and widely performed of today's American composers. Since 1998 she has composed a series of sensuous "purple" works expressly crafted to the viola-playing of CMS Artist Paul Neubauer. He'll perform the first of those pieces plus a brand new one in a concert that also includes the first New York performance of Tower's new Piano Trio. Tower, a chamber-music devotee of long standing, has cited Haydn and Beethoven among her most admired models, so it is fitting that both should find a place on this program, along with one of Dvorak's most popular piano trios.

BETRAYED With Post-Performance Conversation with George Packer
DATE: Sunday, April 27
TIME: 3:00PM
PRICE: $26/$46 for CAAL Members (regularly $36/$61)
HOW: CAAL Members can purchase discounted tickets by using the discount code during online, phone, and in person purchases. Members must present their CAAL membership card when picking up tickets.
In early 2007, George Packer published an article in The New Yorker about Iraqi interpreters who jeopardized their lives on behalf of the Americans in Iraq, with little or no protection or security from the U.S. The article drew national attention to the humanitarian crisis and the moral scandal. Based on Packer’s interviews in Baghdad, Betrayed tells the story of three young Iraqis—two men and one woman—who are motivated to risk everything by America’s promise of freedom. Betrayed explores the complex relationships among the Iraqis themselves and between them and their American supervisor, as they struggle to find purpose while a country collapses around them. Betrayed is directed by Pippin Parker and features Jeremy Beck, Aadya Bedi, Mike Doyle, Ramsey Faragallah, Sevan Greene and Waleed F. Zuaiter. After the performance, take part in a conversation with author/playwright George Packer and Iraqi interpreter Ahmed Ali, hosted by Larry Siems and the PEN American Center.
“The clarity of the writing, the urgency of the story being told, and the fine performances give the play a sharp dramatic impact and a plain-spoken beauty.”
- Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
