The Flea announced today ARDEN: But, Not Without You is now extended through Sunday, March 13 by popular demand.
Tickets are now on sale for performances through March 13.
New material by Okwui Okpokwasili has been added into the production consisting of a monologue to cross divisions and join in a common effort.
“Arden feels like a poem, an ode to new beginnings, a ritual to solemnize a space, and a group embrace. The performers let us in, open their arms, feed off our energy, and offer us blessings. Together, we can hopefully leave more at peace and bask in this much-transformed version of the Flea.”
-TheaterMania
“There are chants, songs, poems, poetic movement, childhood anecdotes, exhortations, communal prayers. But most of this is threaded through a loud, bluesy rock concert, the effect of which is wonderfully entertaining.”
-New York Theater
