SYNOPSIS:

REFUGEE STORIES is compilation of stories written by Bertolt Brecht and unaccompanied, undocumented refugees that Voice Theatre has worked with in workshops for the past three years. The piece will bring these true stories to the public for the first time. 

VOICE THEATRE BRIEF HISTORY:

Started in Paris in 1988 with initial funding from the French Government, Voice Theatre moved to New York City in 1989. Since then, we have produced more than 40 full-scale productions, from original plays such as “Birds on a Wire” (four stars at the Edinburgh Festival), to American classics, Off-Broadway shows, Spring Reading Series, 10-Minute Play Festivals, and many more activities in the United States, Germany, France, Britain and the Middle East. Since 2003, we have led free, in-school workshops in New York City and Upstate, NY. We also offer adult classes and summer youth workshops. In 2014 Voice Theatre renovated the historic Byrdcliffe Theater in Woodstock, NY.

Voice Theatre’s first production in Paris was “Family Cycles”, a theatre piece for 30 actors. The following year, at La MAMA in New York City, Voice Theatre produced “Pushing Through” (University of Nebraska Press), a music theatre piece performed by Palestinian and Israeli women.

Off-Broadway productions include; “Retzach” at 59E59 Theatres, “Our Country’s Good” at the CSV Cultural Center, and “The Laramie Project” at the Barrow Group Theater. Featured on NPR’s “Weekend Edition” Voice Theatre has received press from the New York Times, London Times, Daily Telegraph, and The Washington Post, among many others.
