Uncensored returns for an in-person run April 22-24 at the Robert W. Wilson MCC Theater Space, following two years of digital performances. The show follows the theme of connection and isolation and features performers both virtually and on stage.
Co-directed by Jennifer Shirley and Kevin Carillo, this annual production invites New York City teens to "speak their truth" on the MCC stage after participating in the Youth Company Performance Lab. The show features student-written monologues, scenes, music, and ensemble pieces.
Featured performers include Amani Parbolus, Omar Haidara, Cole Iturregui Shirley, Destiny Hooker, Eleanor “LouLou” Hubner, Gabrielys Rosa-Lozada, Grace Brockington, Jazlyn Claudio, Jociel Tambone, Natoya Murray, and Zelia Ryan-Young, with Daryl Embry as the scenic and lighting designer.
Performances are April 22 at 7:30 PM, April 23 at 2:30 PM and 7:30 PM, and April 24 at 2:30 PM. Tickets are pay-what-you-can.
In addition to Uncensored, MCC Theater's current line-up includes Which Way to the Stage by Ana Nogueira with direction by Mike Donahue and soft by Donja R. Love with direction by Whitney White.
