The IN-Festival is McCarter’s laboratory for new play development. It is a place for us and our audiences to hear new voices, discover new forms, and travel in new directions with established artists. If you say that last sentence out loud, you may discover a humorous homophone.

This year is our second IN-Festival, and as we gear up and get ready, I am a planning a series of posts to tell you a little bit about each of the things we have planned. The IN-Festival features a centerpiece production, around which swirls a series of readings, workshops and other events. This year, the centerpiece is The Mad 7, Yehuda Hyman’s mystic, moving, and magnificent story of one man’s quest of self-discovery. What makes this piece particularly exciting is Yehuda’s spectacular performance. He is an astonishingly talented actor, writer, dancer and choreographer, and his charismatic and virtuosic performance promises to propel this enchanting and interweaving story forward.

The photos on this post are all of Yehuda, and I think they give a taste of his unique abilities as a performer. You can read more about the show (and buy tickets) by clicking here.
