The troupe find themselves at odds with the state of their own existences while being painfully oblivious to the parallels and intersections their lives draw to that of the very Negroes whose story they are bound to tell. As this oblivion fades and they are faced with their stark reality, this day in the life of actors, becomes a day of reckoning. Stacey Rose hails from Elizabeth, NJ and Charlotte, NC respectively. She holds an M.F.A in Dramatic Writing ​ from NYU. Her work has been presented at The Fire This Time, The Bushwick Starr and Rattlestick Playwrights Theater.

Rey Pamatmat directed by Lisa Peterson Star-crossed lovers, fractured time, and a lusty troll are all connected to the violent, buried history of Cora’s family. In her quest to find out how, Cora discovers an enchanted tree that might have the answers tangled up in its roots. But once she digs up the past, what will she do with it? A. Rey Pamatmat’s plays include Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them (Actors Theatre of Louisville), after all ​ ​ ​ ​ the terrible things I do (Milwaukee Rep), House Rules (Ma-Yi) and Thunder Above, Deeps Below (Second ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Generation).

She is currently Associate Director at Berkeley Rep. Casablanca by Kamal Khalladi directed by Latefa Ahrrare 4 Angels don’t fly over Casablanca anymore. Casablanca is not a city of love anymore. It offers its inhabitants only frustration and despair. This play mixes humor and tragedy to tell the story of defeated, broken, and fragile characters, hysterically rushing toward their own ends. Casablanca is a story of sex, money and power, the trinity ​ ​ that destroys people and makes them destroy each other. Kamal Khalladi is a Moroccan Award-winner playwright. He’s an alumni of PEN World Voices, as well as of the ​ The Royal Court Theatre’s international program.

Diary of a Chimera Written & Performed by Intissar Chaabani Directed by Racha Baroud Diary of a Chimera is the story of the impossible mourning of a woman who discovers a family secret forcing her ​ to revisit her life and the shadows in her relationship to the father, men, her own body, and to life.

Intissar Chaabani taught Arabic and French in Tunisia before moving to Paris, where she studied philosophy and ​ psychology, and worked in socio-professional integration. Since 2008, she’s been working as a real estate agent. Intissar writes lyrics and poems, and has been doing theater since 1979. Racha Baroud is a Lebanese director, actor, and performer.

Profile Theatre is one of only three theaters in the country to dedicate their season to an in-depth exploration of a playwright’s vision, using that unique vision as a lens to broaden perspectives on our shared world. Now, in an innovation that deploys Pro- file’s mission to unique effect, we present Generations: two seasons of plays from three of America’s most beloved playwrights whose plays dramatize life, labor and death in the United States and beyond from three different generational vantage points. These visionaries are all connected through the prizes and programs that have shaped them. A gifted playwright, Vogel mentored a generation of playwrights, including Lynn Nottage, who studied with Vogel at Brown. Jacobs-Jenkins was the Paula Vogel Playwright-in-Residence at the Vineyard Theatre, and was on the Su- san Smith Blackburn committee that awarded the prize to Nottage for Sweat. All Pulitzer Prize nominated (or winning), all heralded for the beauty of their writing, their innovative theatricality and deep humanity, Vogel, Nottage and Jacobs-Jenkins’ work stands as a testament to the brilliance of American theatre.
