Theater for the New City is pleased to present this kaleidoscope of New York characters and scenarios from the not-too-distant dystopian future of America, a dystopia that is already upon us.
Corwin’s 'Scraps' is a cautionary series of playlets, most of which sardonically illustrate a particular challenge facing our nation, such as healthcare, freedom of expression, the deterioration of education, and the rise of social media. The actors personify these crises, performing the roles of proletarians, presidents, and college professors as they cycle through the chain of events spawned by the increasingly dark cloud spreading over American democracy.
