The OBIE Award-winning Theater:Village festival, which is presented by Axis Theatre, Cherry Lane Theatre, New Ohio Theatre, and Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, returns for its second year, September 4 - October 5. Following last year's The Hill Town Plays, which presented five works by the playwright Lucy Thurber, this year's festival, titled E Pluribus, will feature four new plays celebrating the diversity of America.

Based on actual events, this play is a great insight into Denver history and the debate of immigration that is still a hot topic not only on a state, but a federal level as well.

On this edition host Eden Lane meets the four actors Yunuen Pardo, Adriana Gaviria, Cynthia Bastidas, and Ruth Livier, who play the young women in 'Just Like Us' a True Denver Story. The play by Karen Zacarias based on the book by Helen Thorpe makes it's world premier at the Denver Center Theatre Company. The sotry follows four latinas in Denver as immigration status begins to erode their opportunities and their friendships.

The World Premiere of JUST LIKE US by Karen Zacarias, based on the book by Helen Thorpe in a Denver Center commission will run tonight, October 4 - November 3 in The Stage Theatre. Opening: Thursday, October 10 at 6:30pm.

Theatre 167 will present the Manhattan Premiere of THE JACKSON HEIGHTS TRILOGY, a rotating repertory of three plays about the Queens, New York neighborhood famous for being the world's most diverse community. Created by 18 playwrights and starring a company of 37 actors playing 93 multicultural roles, the plays were conceived and will be directed by Ari Laura Kreith. The trilogy will inaugurate the newly renovated 777 Theatre, located at 777 8th Avenue at 47th Street beginning February 8th. While each of the plays has been presented individually in Queens to critical acclaim, this is the first time any of these plays will be seen in Manhattan and the first time they are being presented together in repertory, where audiences can see them individually or all in one day.
