Don’t miss TJT’s work-in-progress reading of In the Maze of Our Own Lives (working title), a collaborative ensemble mixed-media theatre project by TJT co-founder Corey Fischer, directed by TJT artistic director Aaron Davidman, with cinema/video elements created and edited by Sam Ball of Citizen Film.  The work is inspired by the history of The Group Theatre (1931-1939), the first American ensemble theatre to put working-class and immigrant American characters on stage.
