Sunday in Sodom / a Parsifal, 2022
Director, Hangar Theatre
creating an explosive double-header of plays by Jordan Tannahill and Susan Sontag, schulman builds a devastating juxtaposition setting the human toll of american military intervention in their crosshairs. SUNDAY IN SODOM explores edith’s last day on earth before her home village of Sodom is destroyed by a US bombardment, and A PARSIFAL begins as SUNDAY IN SODOM ends, depicting the surreal story of parsifal, an american soldier coming to terms with his humanity, depravity, and complicity. this pairing poses the question: in the face of cycles of grief, do we grow, bend, or break?

We'd like some electric blankets. Sincerely, The Cows” when he refuses to comply with their demands, the cows take action. this hilarious tale will give young rebels-in-the-making a taste of the power of peaceful protest and the satisfaction of cooperative give and take.
