Reviews of "Lauren Weedman Doesn't Live Here Anymore"
"Her fearlessness and imagination are a marvel all their own—a fun-to-watch firecracker. She’s frank. She’s wry. And her pace is spry. She picks up an idea, and as soon as you know where she’s going with it, she drops it like a hot potato."

Female Empowerment in Country Music
Lauren Weedman uses country music to explore heartbreak and love in Lauren Weedman Doesn't Live Here Anymore, but gone are the days when country wives are expected to stand by their man.

NASSIM
From Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour (creator of the Off-Broadway smash hit White Rabbit, Red Rabbit) comes an audacious new theatrical experiment, presented in collaboration with Boom Arts.

Touchingly autobiographical yet powerfully universal, NASSIM is a striking theatrical demonstration of how language can both divide and unite us.
