SUMMARY:Theater - Cause Celebre Productions and Ethical Culture Present: 'Here We Are' and 'For Your Pleasure Madame'
DESCRIPTION:Stop by Ethical Culture on Monday\, February 24 as our partners at Cause Celebre Productions open their season on a romantic note–well\, sort of! Don’t miss these two short plays about love\, marriage\, and thoughts of divorce set in Paris and NYC. \nStarring Tony Nominee Penny Fuller\, Drama Desk Award winner Bob Dishy\, and Allison White! \nQ&A follows with the cast\, writer\, and director! \nAbout Here We Are\nTwo newlyweds are taking a train to NYC\, where they will honeymoon and embark upon a new life. By the end of the ride\, the couple realize that marriage may be more difficult than they expected! And their excitement changes into a kind of apprehension. When the couple utters the words “Here We Are” at the end \, one wonders if they are really thinking “Where are we?!” \nAbout For Your Pleasure Madame\nA woman in her 70s\, who has just lost her husband\, enters a Parisian hat store. The owner is a young young woman who is on the phone with her husband. The American widow\, who is quite vulnerable\, has a steely facade and an acerbic sense of humor. But as she tries on each hat\, a layer of defense is pealed away\, and she finally reveals how in love she was with her husband. \nThe French woman too opens up–about how unhappy happy she is with her older husband. She also reveals the history of the shop\, which was shut down by her mother in 1940 when the Nazis marched down the Champs-Elysees. When her mother reopened the shop\, it became more of a home for the French woman. And the hats had become a way for her to connect with others\, especially on this day\, especially with the American woman. As the story progresses they see that they have more in common that they realized at first. \nTickets (In-Person and Livestream)\nClick here to purchase tickets on Eventbrite \nCredits\n“Here We Are” by  Dorothy Parker\nDirected by Antony Marsellis\nStarring Penny Fuller and Bob Dishy\n\n\n“For Your Pleasure Madame” by Susan Charlotte\nDirected by Antony Marsellis\nStarring Penny Fuller and Allison White\n\n\nStage directions for both plays by Michael Citriniti.

SUMMARY:Cause Célèbre Productions Presents: Someone is Sending a Message
DESCRIPTION:Join Ethical NYC and Cause Celebre Productions for an unforgettable play with Broadway actors and Tony Award-winners including Roberta Wallach\, Penny Fuller\, and James Naughton! \nWritten by Susan Charlotte • Directed by Antony Marsellis \nSomeone is Sending a Message is based on a true story of persistence and hope in the face of adversity–a story that revolves around a courageous young man named Nick Springer. It’s also the story of a painter named Sheila\, a friend of Nick who is at a crossroads in her art and in her life. \nSuddenly she receives a phone call: What do you mean Nick is dead? \nThe same Nick she spoke with two weeks ago\, who she had known since he was 13. The same Nick who had contracted Meningitis at camp and\, despite quadruple amputations\, became a Paralympic Gold Medalist\, an international advocate for life\, survival\, vaccination\, and a national hero. Nick never let any obstacle get in his way\, but while swimming in a friend’s pool his heart gave out. \nSheila turns to Facebook to learn more about what happened\, where hundreds of people have shared messages. Strangely\, every time she tries to post her own\, words appear on her screen: ​ \nSomeone is sending a message. \nSo begins Sheila’s surrealistic journey\, so affected by Nick’s extraordinary life and unexpected death that she begins to face the obstacles in her own life\, make sense of its twists and turns\, and come to terms with the death of her brother\, who was also in his 30s. Sheila stares at the screen as feelings from her past appear alongside the messages from Nick’s friends\, the two worlds overlapping. Perhaps there is a message for her. \nSuddenly one appears: \nLife goes on. With or without you. You can either shut down or join in. \nIt’s from Nick! Sheila turns and faces her incomplete canvas\, and is able\, at last\, to add the final brushstrokes. \nTickets\n$25 – Click to Purchase on Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Ethics and the Theater: Love Letters
DESCRIPTION:Free! \nDon’t miss our Ethics and the Theater team’s annual Summer Sunday Platform featuring a staged reading of A.R. Gurney’s Pulitzer Prize-finalist Love Letters: \nAndrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner\, both born to wealth and position\, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached\, they continue to exchange letters through the boarding school and college years—where Andy goes on to excel at Yale and law school\, while Melissa flunks out of a series of “good schools.” \nWhile Andy is off at war Melissa marries\, but her attachment to Andy remains strong and she continues to keep in touch as he marries\, becomes a successful attorney\, gets involved in politics and\, eventually\, is elected to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile\, her marriage in tatters\, Melissa dabbles in art and gigolos\, drinks more than she should\, and becomes estranged from her children. \nEventually she and Andy do become involved in a brief affair\, but it is really too late for both of them. However Andy’s last letter\, written to her mother after Melissa’s untimely death\, makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant\, and gave to\, each other over the years—physically apart\, perhaps\, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be. \nMonthly Collection\nProject Renewal \nAbout Sunday Platform\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with C.K. Allen: Letter From a Birmingham Jail
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\, in-person and online! \nJoin us for a special Sunday Platform presented by our Ethics and the Theater team. This week we’ll feature a dramatic reading of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail by actor C.K. Allen\, directed by Tai Thompson. \nIn this open letter written on April 16\, 1963\, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. argues that people have a moral responsibility to break unjust laws and to take direct action rather than waiting potentially forever for justice to come through the courts. King writes: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” King’s imprisonment was during The Birmingham campaign which included coordinated marches and sit-ins against racism and racial segregation in Birmingham\, Alabama. The nonviolent campaign was coordinated by the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights (ACMHR) and King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). It began on April 3. On April 10\, Circuit Judge W. A. Jenkins Jr. issued a blanket injunction against “parading\, demonstrating\, boycotting\, trespassing\, and picketing.” Leaders of the campaign announced they would disobey the ruling. On April 12\, King was arrested with SCLC activist Ralph Abernathy\, ACMHR\, and SCLC official Fred Shuttlesworth. The letter\, widely published\, became an important text for the American Civil Rights Movement. It’s time to listen to King’s words once more. \nWatch Online: Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the Zoom ID above. \nAbout C.K.
