An eco-theatre project igniting the Red Hook community around climate change advocacy
About
Eco-theatre company, On The Hook, is proud to present CHRISTIE, an eco-feminist adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's Anna Christie at The Waterfront Museum.
Our Mission Through dynamic programming including fully-staged productions, online events, and art-making workshops, artists, audience members & local residents will come together to explore how climate change affects our communities and how art can be a vehicle for inspiring sustainable change.
CHRISTIE This site-specific production is unpacking how humankind's domination of the Earth is echoed in today's patriarchal and capitalistic societies.
CHRISTIE will premiere on Saturday October 15, 2022 and run for a total of five performances: at 7:00pm on October 15th, 21st, and 22nd, and at 3:00pm on October 16 and 23. Directed by theatrical curator Nicky Maggio (N/they/them), the site-specific reimagining will take place at the Waterfront Museum, a preserved coal barge docked at Pier 44 in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
Sitting at the helm of the production is producer, playwright, and actor Covi Loveridge Brannan (she/her). Brannan began writing her adaptation of Anna Christie in 2020 when she founded ON THE HOOK for her Master of Arts and Entrepreneurship thesis project at The New School in NYC. She will be assuming the role of O'Neill's title character, Anna, and will be joined by Rick Benson (he/him) as Chris Christopherson, and Mike Sause (he/him) as Mat Burke to bring to life this immersive tale of oppression and transformation.
Eco-Arts Workshops We are proud to be offering free multi-disciplinary eco-arts programming with local Red Hook community organizations, Red Hook Arts Project and Red Hook Initiative.
