Reeling from life’s complexity, we ponder our place in time. Should more than just our coffee table be vintage? In Jordan Harrison’s Maple and Vine, a burnt-out Manhattan couple gets a chance to find out in the Society of Dynamic Obsolescence, a band of re-enactors that’s created a town way off the grid — 1955 in the 21st century.
Harrison wrote the play at the request of Anne Kaufmann of NYC’s The Civilians troupe, who’d become fascinated with intentional communities such as Hasidic Jews, nuns, and the Amish. The collaboration marks a rare occasion someone’s said, “I have this great idea and I just need someone to write it down” without provoking violence.
Fridays, Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Sundays, 2 p.m. Starts: March 1. Continues through March 17, 2013
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $15,500 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
