Dear Santa, for Christmas this year I want a Pound Puppy, a Speak + Spell, and a nuclear radiation detector.
In this celebrated play directed by Tony Award nominee KNUD ADAMS (ENGLISH), a young girl is embroiled in intrigue when her estranged uncle, a prominent Black conservative, brings his mysteriously ill wife home for the holidays. A fugue of Reaganomics, espionage, roller disco, and cults—underscored by the cryptic Syracuse, NY chapter of the Seedlings of Peace Children’s Chorus.
RO REDDICK’S (THROWBACK ISLAND) COLD WAR CHOIR PRACTICE was a New York Times Critic’s Pick during its 2025 Summerworks run co-produced by Clubbed Thumb and Page 73, with Laura Collins-Hughes saying the play is “…infused with choral music and spiked with espionage.”
1hr 45min. No intermission.
