Cailín Heffernan* directs. One performance will be staged at Dixon Place, 161A Chrystie Street in NYC on Tuesday, February 26, 2019 at 7:30pm. Long before Madonna, the world was Gaga for Nazimova. Places, a theatrical multimedia solo show, tells the story of Alla Nazimova, the forgotten lesbian trailblazer, iconoclast and the greatest star you’ve never heard of. Escaping anti-semitic Tsarist Russia, she became Broadway’s biggest star with the Shubert’s naming a theater after her. Nazimova also became Hollywood’s highest paid silent screen icon and the film industry’s first female director and producer. Defying moral and artistic codes of her time, she was forced into obscurity. Returning from the grave, Nazimova raises her voice, reclaiming our collective history, lighting the way to diversity. “By opening our eyes to the past, we are better able to see our present.” “Sexism, racism, homophobia, anti-semitism, and ageism: Nazimova was fighting these contemporary struggles back in the 19th and early 20th Centuries, but alone and without a twitter account,” stated playwright and performer Romy Nordlinger. “In writing and performing Places, I am setting the record straight and telling Nazimova’s magnificent story. We are all the stories we tell, and an artist is only dead when the last person to remember them dies.” Places was partially developed in a production of 'Stage Struck' helmed by Mari Lyn Henry and her Society For The Preservation Of Theatrical History committed to preserving the legacy of legendary actresses. Places is presented by Dixon Place. Composer/Sound Designer: Nick T. Moore; Video Designer: Adam Burns; Public Relations: Paul Siebold/Off Off PR. General admission tickets are $15 in advance, $18 at the door. Students, seniors, and idNYC tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door. For tickets and information, visit DixonPlace.org. |
