New York Theatre Workshop: Hurricane Diane

“To say that Devonté Hynes, the singer and songwriter who goes by Dev Hynes and who, under the name Lightspeed Champion, has delivered two albums of richly eclectic pop, is a high achiever is a bit of an understatement”
– 
The New Yorker

 

“[Third Coast Percussion’s] collaborative spirit has already made them one of the best percussion ensembles in the country-and their upcoming projects could make them the biggest.” 

– Chicago Reader

Works & Process, the performing arts series at the Guggenheim, presents New York Theatre Workshop: Hurricane Diane on Monday, October 15, 2018 at 7:30pm.

Pulitzer Prize finalist Madeleine George, director Leigh Silverman, and cast members Mia Barron, Becca Blackwell, Nikiya Mathis, Danielle Skraastad, and Kate Wetherhead present highlights from George’s new work Hurricane Diane, a co-production between New York Theatre Workshop and WP Theater. The production features Diane, a permaculture gardener dripping with butch charm and supernatural abilities owing to her true identity-the Greek god Dionysus. Diane returns to the modern world to restore the Earth to its natural state, taking to her suburban New Jersey cul-de-sac, and leading a bacchanalian catharsis with her neighboring suburban housewives.

Works & Process at the Guggenheim 
Described by 
The New York Times as “an exceptional opportunity to understand something of the creative process,” for over 34 years and in over 500 productions, New Yorkers have been able to see, hear, and meet the most acclaimed artists in the world, in an intimate setting unlike any other. Works & Process, the performing arts series at the Guggenheim, has championed new works and offered audiences unprecedented access to generations of leading creators and performers. Most performances take place in the Guggenheim’s intimate Frank Lloyd Wright-designed 285-seat Peter B. Lewis Theater. In 2017, Works & Process established a new residency and commissioning program, inviting artists to create new works, made in and for the iconic Guggenheim rotunda. worksandprocess.org.
