Poetic Theater Productions is proud to present our tenth annual Love Redefined showcase, Love Redefined: RENEW to take place Wednesday, February 19th, 2020 at 8:00pm at Judson Memorial Church, presented with Judson Arts. Love Redefined is a celebration of radical love of self and others with a night of poetic, theatrical, and musical remixes, re-imaginings and riffs.

Over the past ten years, PTP artists have created over one hundred and twenty original pieces for Love Redefined, exploring topics of self love, community and chosen family, male vulnerability, sexual freedom, queerness, and more. This year, in Love Redefined: RENEW, Poetic Theater Productions’ community of artists are drawing from these last ten years of response pieces as inspiration, continuing to redefine the conversation surrounding love, and setting the stage for the next ten years of poetic theater.

Love Redefined: RENEW will feature re-presented pieces from 2010-2019 by Tanaya Winder, Keomi Tarver, Daniel Fritz Silber-Baker, Vanessa Rappa, Margaret McCarthy, Iris A. Law, Teniece Divya Johnson, Baba Israel, Joanna Hoffman, Craig muMs Grant, Safia Elhillo, Maurice Decaul, Everett Cox, and Mickey Bolmer, with response pieces written by Catherine Weingarten, Becca Travis, Drew Pham, Jenny Pacanowski, Jacqueline Jones LaMon, Mika Kauffman, Amir Hall, fajjr + ali, Lynaé DePriest AKA Thoughtress, Toni Ann DeNoble, Maya N. Carter, Nia Calloway, Toni Blackman, and Raquel Almazan. Love, Redefined: RENEW includes projection design by Lisa Renkel and Brian Pacelli, and lighting design by Kryssy Wright. The showcase is curated by Ellen Mischinski, Jeremy Karafin, Dontonio Demarco and Maya N. Carter. Love Redefined will examine love as healing, community, joy, vulnerability, pleasure, and revolution.
