A fundraiser in support of Ukraine
ALL proceeds go to The Ukrainian Emergency Performing Arts Fund
Bad Roads is a play written by the acclaimed Ukrainian playwright Natalka Vorozhbyt, translated by Sasha Dugdale.
Bad Roads, in the darkest recesses of Ukraine in 2014, a war is raging. A journalist takes a research trip to the front line.
Bad Roads presents short stories set along the roads of Donbass during the war. There are no safe spaces and no one can make sense of what is going on. Even as they are trapped in the chaos, some manage to wield authority over others. But in this world, where tomorrow may never come, not everyone is defenseless and miserable. Even the most innocent victims may have their turn at taking charge.
The staged reading will be presented by Lost & Found Project, a group of American, Ukrainian, Belorussian, Israeli actors and musicians who believe that especially in times like these, performing arts serves as a tremendous tool. A tool to support fellow artists in Ukraine, and to hear the voices of New York based actors with strong ties to the war, who simply cannot remain silent.
Donations made from tickets reservations will go to the Ukrainian Emergency Performing Arts Fund, non-profit organization supporting artists that stay on the territory of Ukraine or try to escape in time of war.
Ukrainian Emergency Performing Arts Fund is implemented by the non-profit Charitable Organization "ICF "Impulse Transformation Platform" together with Ruban Production ITP Ltd.
