Kairos Italy Theater, New York’s preeminent Italian Theater Company, and KIT Italia present the 6th Edition of In Scena! Italian Theater Festival NY, which features a record of twelve shows, directly from Italy to NYC; including a special Opening Night Event, We are Not Alone, starring Dario D’Ambrosi.
The 15-day, 5-borough Festival, founded by KIT Artistic Director Laura Caparrotti and KIT Italia Artistic Director Donatella Codonesu, will close with the 5th annual Mario Fratti Award, created especially for In Scena! to be presented to the excellence in Italian playwriting.
This year’s edition celebrates women featuring seven female authors as well as six female directors. Also spotlighted are two LGBTQ-themed works. In addition, the Festival boasts readings of Italian plays in translation, “infosession” panels, a full-day conference, and one of the highlights of the past edition, “Free Verse meets In Scena!”, where probation inmates create poetry with Italian artists, and much more.
The Festival runs May 7th-21st. All shows/events are free to the public (suggested donations accepted).
