It’s the week of the New Worlds Festival! 🌎✨ Rehearsals are underway for How I Learned to Steal Horses and Finally Play the Piano by Kseniya Ignatova-Yates. This new play is directed by Courtney Emerson and features Matthew Gilleece, Jenny Kelly, Dani Favaloro, Mélisande Echanique, and Anadina Saladino. In Kseniya’s play, sometimes picking up the pieces can be a real schlep. With the help of a dazzling part time psychic named Glendora, Abby begins to realize that in order to find yourself, you need to look back on where you’ve been. Join us August 8th to 10th for the New Worlds Festival!
