Street Scenes

Text by Langston Hughes and his contemporaries*
Music by Kurt Weill and others
Directed by Eve Muson and Katie Hileman
Musical Direction by Andrew Hann

*Street Scenes brings together moments and text from several landmark 20th-century playwrights, woven together with text shaped through contemporary AI tools. The hope is that these elements speak to one another—old and new, familiar and unexpected—as the performance unfolds. Thank you for being here and sharing the experience with us. Additional text by Eve Muson and Camila Hildalgo.
