SALEM: POST-MORTEM — Available Streaming Oct 29 - Nov 12, 2020

Proud to be a part of a unique project called “SALEM: POST-MORTEM” which is a poetic new play by Peter Gray, directed by Michael Alvarez. It’s the inaugural project for a new theater company in New York, and if starting a theater company during a pandemic isn’t an act of courage and love, I don’t know what is!

In “SALEM: POST-MORTEM” the witches of Salem awaken once more--this time in the afterlife-- to seek resolution of their unfinished stories and confront the fear which left their town in tatters. When the veneer of Puritan decorum falls away, old voices scramble to regain their status and new voices awaken power they never touched on earth.

It was an international cast of 16 actors, and we all acted as our own film crew, with Michael and Peter guiding us remotely. Such a joy to create during the pandemic, and work with these two amazing creative spirits.

It will be free to watch and can be accessed at www.the-muse-collective.com with donations going to raise money for the Audre Lorde Project.

The Muse Collective was created by Michael Alvarez in 2020 as an umbrella for collaboration and theatrical investigation. Their philosophy is to create art in an attempt to see beyond the veil of waking life, excavating the invisible worlds of our mind, heart, soul, and shared humanity.

Here’s the Broadway World press release with more info, and here’s where this project was featured in Time Out New York’s “Best Live Theater to Watch Online” list!
