All are invited! MY TOWN by Jack Ferver takes a queer departure from the classic American play Our Town by Thornton Wilder.

EMPAC at Rensselaer in Troy invites Capital District Theater audiences to experience the world premiere of MY TOWN by Jack Ferver on Friday, March 21 at 7PM. Presented in the EMPAC Theater on the campus of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Set loosely in an area of upstate New York, MY TOWN considers the queer experience outside urban metropoles, and the ways physical geography marks the interior terrains of the mind.

Moving through tragic-comic moments of violence, sexuality, and death, Ferver balances the work with a playfulness and self-awareness that lifts the work into a surreal register.

The fluidity of the script and choreography is echoed in the video by Jeremy Jacob that frames the work and interacts with Ferver’s performance. One scene melts into another as if in a dream.

In collaboration with Jeremy Jacob.
