WE ARE PUSSY RIOT Selected for The Contemporary American Theater Festival

WE ARE PUSSY RIOT, by playwright Barbara Hammond, has been selected as one of the five new plays for the 25th Season of The Contemporary American Theater Festival (CATF).  WE ARE PUSSY RIOT, commissioned by CATF, makes its world debut at the Festival. The play tells the story of five young women that walked into Moscow’s Church of Christ the Savior and offered up a punk prayer to the Mother God: “Virgin Mary, Chase Putin Away!” Their act made them enemies of Church and State, and revolutionary artists in the eyes of Western media. This story speaks to their struggles and the power of the human spirit.
