In this
world premiere celebration of
café culture, vignettes from
Charles Mee’s Café
Plays combine with music from the
American musical songbook under the
brilliant hand of director Anne
Bogart. Incorporating dialogue, music
and dance, Performing Arts students
from Emerson College will join forces
with members of Bogart’s acclaimed
SITI Company (in residence at
ArtsEmerson) to render the romantic
scenes and philosophical characters
ubiquitous to the lively world of the
café.
“What audiences
experience at a SITI performance is a
unique physical theatre of
intelligence, rigor, poetry and
grace.” –Theatre Bay
