Two River Theater Aims at Racism, High Art in "Living & Breathing"


By Jesse North & Dave Tavani, JerseyArts.com

originally published: 01/19/2023


What happens when life imitates art too literally? Lots of drama. Two River Theater is presenting the world debut of “Living & Breathing,” a world premiere play by Mando Alvarado. This new play examines the world of high art, racial identity, and a friend group that’s ready to buckle. Jersey Arts goes to rehearsal in Red Bank to learn more from the team behind this new show.
