FROM @monamansourplays ---
Two years ago, I was staring down the barrel at needing to write a new play for the @thepoolplays. I was heartbroken about the United States, our involvement in the world, and I was heartbroken about the world of American theater, where it felt like so much of what I cared about was not heard or seen on its stages.
The one thing I knew was I wanted to create with this incredible artist. I'd watched George sing and play the oud a dozen times. So we sat down together upstairs at the Public and watched the then-terrible press secretaries (how low the bar has now gotten). And through George, I found ways to notice things about people as they lied their asses off. Something absurd began to emerge. And from that I was lucky enough to get to play with the words in the stellar company of @maybird_a @andyheebs @rajivjoseph @martyna_majok @thedavidhenryhwang. Their brilliant insights helped me make this crazy play sing.

It's called ROUNDUP, and Friday 3/6 I'm having a reading of an excerpt with my compatriots @pwilson720 and @ramirev as part our next chapter of @thepoolplays.

IATI theater, 64 East 4th!

Come see! George and Tina Benko at 7pm; yours truly and the brilliant @ezemba at 3p. Directed by @ryandobrin by @thepoolplays

Pool Plays 4.0 Is Postponing!
But ... there will be readings, you're invited!

It’s Mona, Pia, and Vickie. Thank you for all of your support so far. First, the sad news: we began our fundraising in earnest late last year, and we realized as our spring dates got closer that we wouldn’t be able to raise what was needed in time.

But! we are in the process of rescheduling our POOL PLAYS 4.0, and once we get firm dates, we promise you will be the first to know!

However! We are excited to invite you to an event on March 6: a reading of excerpts of our plays, and some refreshment! This event is free to the public, and will be held at IATI Theater in the East Village.

RSVP in bio!
