Manual for a Desperate Crossing by María Irene Fornés

Recurring

Manual for a Desperate Crossing is an epic migratory montage that follows a group of Cuban rafters, or “balseros,” fleeing to the United States in the mid-1990s. Cuban-American playwright María Irene Fornés crafts this one-act with her distinctively stylized prose, which draws from real-life testimonies of balseros, to create a vast landscape of overlapping fears and dreams. Directed by Didi Vekri '27; lighting design and dramaturgy by Elena Milliken '26. Talkback on 2/27. Free tickets required.

A Staged Reading of Generation-less by Tiffany Rawlston ‘26

Featured Recurring

In "Generation-less," conceived by Princeton senior Tiffany Rawlston, four characters of a wide range of ages randomly meet one day in a train station. They unexpectedly confront how their life experiences reflect the highs and lows of modern society and how their unique perspectives might intersect in more ways than initially assumed. Come see what a 50-year old might learn from a 20-year old (or vice versa) in the short span of a train delay. Free tickets required.
