Summary: Pang! is an evening of three short plays based on the oral histories of families living with hunger in Los Angeles CA, Miami FL and Cedar Rapids IA. Artists perform the plays amidst a forest of microphones, sound effects props and musical instruments, as if we are a radio theater company performing a live broadcast.
PANG!’s scenarios:
1) A single mom and nine children are swindled into foreclosure on their Los Angeles family home of 65 years.
2) A family makes a harrowing escape from war-torn Burundi and resettles as refugees in Eastern Iowa, which proves traumatic in its own ways.
3) A 7 year-old boy sews seeds of hope as he fantasizes his way out of a Miami neighborhood besieged by violence and beset by racist politics.
Pang! Performances:
October 20-21, 2017 at Legion Arts/CSPS Hall, Cedar Rapids I
December 1-3, 2017 at 24th Street Theatre, Los Angeles CA
January 26-28, 2018 at The Light Box at Miami Light Project, Miami FL
