The premiere of The Line

Nothing jumped out at me about this week’s events until I remembered this, and wanted to bring it to your attention.

The Line, a work of “docu-theater” (a field that fascinates me) by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen, premieres tomorrow night “at” The Public here in New York. (The Public has launched many shows into the stratosphere, including a little show you might have heard of called Hamilton.)

Here is the description:

THE LINE is a new play by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen created in the award-winning documentary style that brought you The Exonerated, Aftermath, and Coal Country. Crafted from firsthand interviews with New York City medical first responders during the COVID-19 pandemic, THE LINE cuts through the media and political noise to reveal the lived experiences of frontline medical workers in New York and their battle to save lives in a system built to serve the bottom line.

It premieres tomorrow night, 7:30pm ET, on the theater’s YouTube channel. It will be there until August 4. You can RSVP to get a reminder.
