A few weeks ago, during a reflective conversation, a friend described 2020 as a fever dream. The uncertainty provoked by the pandemic and the potential of that summer’s uprisings brought many people closer to understanding the demands they could make of themselves and each other to create a safer world. It was a year of answering calls to action, of protesting and demonstrating, of helping neighbors, of corporate promises to listen and learn, of checking in emotionally and checking out of the death-making capitalist machine. An intoxicating energy coursed through those days — no wonder it felt unreal.
If 2020 was marked by promises, then 2022 was defined by their ghosts. How many of those pledges went unfulfilled? How many commitments were quietly abandoned? Lethargy settled in as we continued to live in unprecedented times: Corporate profits increased while individual pockets and sanities contracted, scientists and...

If you happen to be white, straight, male, and/or church-going, a trip to the theater these days can often turn into a masochistic endeavor. Every once in a while, however, a play from a subgenre pops up that can best be described as Minority Infighting. These plays have their unexpected pleasures, letting us know that, at heart, everyone has his or her issues with tolerance. Zayd Dohrn’s new play, “The Profane,” opening Sunday at Off Broadway’s Playwrights Horizons, looks at two very different Middle-Eastern immigrant families living in New York state. Born in the United States, Emina Almedin (Tala Ashe) and.

The Harold Clurman Laboratory Theater Company in Los Angeles is set to raise the curtain on a production that will challenge audiences’ views on immigration and its small cast’s ability to bring life to characters some may perceive as stereotypes. “Long Way Go Down,” which will have its West Coast premiere May 17, centers on Nini and Violetta, two young illegal immigrants trying to make a dangerous, smuggled crossing into the United States. The play was written by Zayd Dohrn, the son of Bernardine Rae Dohrn and Bill Ayers, both former members of the left-wing radical group the Weather Underground Organization.
