Free performance of “The Most Beautiful Home…Maybe”

Syracuse Stage 820 E. Genesee St., Syracuse, NY, United States

“The Most Beautiful Home . . . Maybe” is an original work of devised theater whose goal is to use the imaginative resources of theater to explore solutions to chronic housing problems plaguing the country. Through workshops that bring together stakeholders involved in housing policy—politicians, developers, advocates, activists, the homeless—Valdez and sparks seek creative solutions to housing insecurity by challenging participants to consider the question “What if everyone in this country had a home?” The input collected at workshops forms the basis for the performance piece. Syracuse Stage has hosted four workshops in the lead up to the performance and local participants have included Deka Dancil, diversity, equity and inclusion specialist; St. Joseph’s Health; Lanessa Chaplin, Esq., project counsel with the New York Civil Liberties Union, and author and playwright Dr. Juhanna Rogers, among others. Tickets are required for this performance and may be obtained at www.syracusestage.org.
