The 2015 New Stages Festival will feature three fully staged works, including Octavio Solis' Mother Road, a reimagining of "The Grapes of Wrath"; Charles Smith's Objects in the Mirror, the story of a young Liberian man who "gains a new perspective and life when he loses his home"; and Lauren Yee's King of the Yees, an examination of culture, identity and "what it means to be a Yee."
The festival will also feature four staged readings: Dael Orlandersmith's Lady in Denmark, a "darkly poetic one-woman narrative about the role music plays in shaping a life"; Jordan Harrison's The Amateurs, a "wild and woolly tale of plagues, purpose and the origins of creativity"; Rebecca Gilman's Rödvinsvänster (Red-Wine Leftists: 1977), "a collision of ideologies and realism set in 1977 Gothenburg, Sweden"; and Martin Zimmerman's On The Exhale, "a surprising and emotional examination of society's complex relationship with guns and gun violence."
