I will see if your voice can carry:
Interviews with Adrienne Kennedy

Postponed: Performance
March 28, 2020, 7pm

Due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19, Artists Space will be rescheduling this program.

In an effort to conjure and elucidate the historical, social, and cultural reach that Kennedy's profound and radical work has had on generations of artists and theatre practitioners, 600 Highwaymen will organize I will see if your voice can carry: Interviews with Adrienne Kennedy, a very special staged reading of interview excerpts from throughout Kennedy's career, brought to life by a collection of artists and thinkers who have been influenced or effected by Kennedy's work.
