Additional Voice Theatre Productions

The Homecoming Project, a music theatre piece about an American developer who attempts to carve up a rural Scottish town entirely for profit. The themes of greed versus community were extremely potent in Columbia, Maryland – a planned and developed community; where the play was co-produced with the Columbia Festival of the Arts. The play was performed by an international cast and forty residents of Columbia.

Voice Theatre partnered with the Peres Centre for Peace, Tel Aviv, Israel and the Palestinian Regional Authority, Palestine to produce Warriors of Fate with actors from Palestine and Israel; performances took place in Palestine and Israel.

The Off–Off Broadway production of Our Country’s Good by Timberlake Wertenbaker at the CSV Cultural Center, NYC. The play is the story of convicts and British Royal Marines sent to Australia in the late 1780s as part of the first penal colony where they courageously created a play.

A Off-Off Broadway production of The Laramie Project at the Barrow Group Theater. The audience acted as witnesses in Voice Theatre’s promenade production which took place in this site specific space before it was the Barrow Group Theater.
