New World Arts extends the run of Marisol for a 3rd weekend
GOSHEN, Ind. — New World Arts exciting Season Ten begins with a bang as their opening show is extended to a 3rd weekend in order to accommodate all who would like to see the production.
New World Arts opens its historic Season Ten with a reprise from its very first season: "Marisol" by José Rivera. Originally performed to sold out audiences at the theatre ten years ago, "Marisol" depicts a world beginning to fail and slowly deteriorate. When New York City resident Mariol Perez learns that angels are planning celestial war in order to save the world, she is set on a unavoidable journey to find faith, security and hope while the world, rent apart, is seemingly bereft of any.
In an election year where four out of five Americans are seeking change in government, the play could not come at a more important time. Rivera, most well-known for his screenplay "The Motorcycle Diaries," references the genre of magical realism, describing a need for change and revolution through spectacle, through grand imagery and through metaphor.
"It's obvious this play resonates with the community," says Laura Gouin, Artistic Director. "After several sellout shows, we had to extend the production to a 3rd weekend in order to get everybody in who wants to see it. This makes for a great start to our milestone season ten."
The reprise of "Marisol" comes as New World Arts begins it's tenth season exploring the relevance and importance of local and global communities, and how each shapes the people that exist within it. "'Marisol' questions the validity of the powers that be and asks us to take a close look at the societal structures we prop up with our belief," said Falcòn.
Extended performances of "Marisol" at New World Arts are scheduled for March 7-8; curtain times at 8 p.m. Ticket prices are $15 general admission, $10 for students and seniors. For more information or to make reservations, call (574) 975-0311 or go online to www.newworldarts.org. New World Arts is located at 211 S. Main Street in Goshen, Indiana (parking lot and entrance are located at the back of the building, accessible from South Third Street).
