RCNJ Theater Presents: Polaroid Stories

Polaroid Stories by Naomi Iizuka
Directed by Lester Mayers
Sharp Theater
November 15-23, 2024

A visceral blend of classical mythology and real-life stories told by street kids, Iizuka’s award-winning play journeys into a dangerous world where myth-making fulfills a fierce need for transcendence, where storytelling has the power to transform a reality in which characters’ lives are continually threatened, devalued, and effaced. Inspired in part by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Polaroid Stories depicts modern-day mortals engulfed by needs that burn and consume with lyricism and great theatrical force.
