"The standard-bearers of contemporary theater-making."
-Le Monde
For a decade now, the OBIE Award-winning 600 HIGHWAYMEN, led by theater artists Abigail Browde and Michael Silverstone, has been “one of New York’s best nontraditional companies” (The New Yorker). They will work at LUMBERYARD on Manmade Earth, a work created with eight young adults (all residents of the city of Buffalo, NY, and all born in different cities around the globe). Combining 600 HIGHWAYMEN’s arresting, theatrical style with a large-scale physical installation built live and in collaboration with the audience, Manmade Earth intimately investigates permanence, stability, bravery, and endurance. The company will give work-in-progress performances at LUMBERYARD on July 20 & 21.
