TONIGHT! Marlene Luna: ” Feeling Luna-Tic-A” at the Dexter Training Grounds, 6:30pm.
For the third year the West Broadway Neighborhood Association will present “West Side Wednesdays”, a free outdoor performance series that is part of “Celebrate Providence”–the City of Providence’s Neighborhood Performing Arts Initiative.
Locally acclaimed bilingual ECAS Theater, featuring Marlene Luna’s Feeling –Luna- Tic-A, will be the opening performance on Wednesday, July 11th, from 6:30-7:30 at the Dexter Training Grounds. (between Dexter and Parade Streets, Providence).
Feeling Luna-Tic-A asks : What is real and what is imagined? Does art imitate life, or vice versa? Marlene Luna, a young playwright and actor originally from the Dominican Republic, set out to write a play that would capture the humor, drama and anxiety that comes with being young and bicultural in America today. In the process of doing so Marlene takes us on a poignant and entertaining path through self-discovery. Bring your family, your neighbors a blanket and a picnic and enjoy the show.
