Fireworks Play Development Program Live Reading The Fireworks Playwrights’ Mentorship Program is a 6-month playwriting intensive where writers develop new scripts from the idea stage into a complete first draft to be presented in a reading at the end of the unit. This May, nine writers will showcase their new scripts-in-progress in front of a live audience. The Shortest and Sweetest of Songs Presented in Teesri Duniya’s outdoor performance space, The Shortest and Sweetest of Songs is an experiential collage of poetry, puppetry, music, and live performance—an embodied exploration of hope and home in Palestine. Featuring a vibrant ensemble of puppeteers, actors, musicians, and performance artists, this multidisciplinary piece invites audiences into a shared space of reflection and resistance. Rooted in Palestinian poetry and intergenerational dreams of return, the performance unfolds as a living tapestry of sound, image, and movement—an act of remembrance, resilience, and radical imagination.
