12 short operas over four nights inspired and dedicated to the historic Hudson Guild Settlement community were put on stage of New York University and the Hudson Guild Theatre.


THE HANDS THAT PLANTED

Three members of a community share what they think should be done with their beloved tree which is overrun with ivy.


UNTITLED

Bernard, an old retired sailor, starts painting even though he has never believed that he could be a painter.


LIFT

Goodness for goodness' sake. The piece serves as a condemnation of modern "solutions" to accessible housing. Housing lottery systems offer accessibility warped with political or financial gain. Goodness done for gain's sake, and those who suffer from unkind acts of kindness.
