"Emergency” by Daniel Beaty is a cry for freedom, a plea for reason, set in a fanciful scenario among startled New Yorkers in pre-COVID times, panicked to see a slave ship rise up out of the harbor waters in front of the Statue of Liberty. “Emergency” premiered in 2006 at the Public Theater in Manhattan.

By Chastity Eva Laskey Special to the Arizona Daily Star Invisible Theatre has some old-fashioned romance sprinkled with humor in mind. The company opens Kenny Finkle’s “Alive and Well” next week. It tells the story of a couple searching for the oldest living Civil War veteran and finding much more than that. Susan Claassen, director and IT’s managing artistic director, says the play is in the spirit of the golden age of Hollywood’s great romantic comedies, such as “Romancing the Stone” and “African Queen.” Read the entire review [ click here ].
