Brown Box Theatre Project returns for their Second Annual Evening of Short Plays: BOXER SHORTS II: From Water to Dust / De Agua al Polvo. This year's series will be directed by Talia Curtin and Kyler Taustin and include: Tape by Jose Rivera, Capricho by Nilo Cruz, Springtime by Maria Irene Fornes, and Bliss by Caridad Svich. All four plays feature playwrights of Latin American descent and are tied together by common themes of memory, reflection, and repentance. "This production is inherently collaborative, as it requires much more 'assembly' than a standard full-length play," notes director Talia Curtin. "Multiple directors must work together with designers and actors to meld these individual plays into a cohesive, one-of-a-kind experience."
