Polaroid Stories<\/span><\/i> by Naomi Iizuka<\/span>
\nDirected by Lester Mayers<\/span>
\nSharp Theater<\/span>
\nNovember 15-23, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trigger Acknowledgement: This show portrays real-life experiences involving abuse, drug use, domestic violence, the unhoused,<\/span>\u00a0and sex work.\u00a0The language of the play reflects the extremity of these experiences and is sometimes graphic.\u00a0<\/span>We want to stress that we have made sure support resources are easily accessible for anyone who may be triggered or impacted by these themes.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A visceral blend of classical mythology and real-life stories told by street kids, Iizuka\u2019s award-winning play journeys into a dangerous world where myth-making fulfills a fierce need for transcendence, where storytelling has the power to transform a reality in which characters\u2019 lives are continually threatened, devalued, and effaced. Inspired in part by Ovid\u2019s <\/span>Metamorphoses<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Polaroid Stories<\/span><\/i> depicts modern-day mortals engulfed by needs that burn and consume with lyricism and great theatrical force.<\/span><\/p>\n
