Following a successful run of Obie Award-winning 600 HIGHWAYMEN’s A THOUSAND WAYS (Parts One and Two), [VENUE] is excited to present the culminating installment, A THOUSAND WAYS (Part Three): An Assembly, an intimate return to the act of communal gathering

A THOUSAND WAYS (Part Three): An Assembly brings together an audience of strangers to construct a unique and intimate theatrical event. Using a stack of instructive notecards and a few simple props, this small group of people collectively recount a timeless story of perseverance—of audacity in the face of uncertainty. This elucidating experience invites participants to consider each other—individually and collectively—and the significance of their coming together. This is an invitation. Will you attend?

This is an invitation. Will you attend?

A THOUSAND WAYS (Part Three): An Assembly is the final experience of award-winning 600 HIGHWAYMEN’s triptych of encounters between strangers. While Parts One and Two brought together pairs of strangers to meet across phone lines (Part One) and through glass panes (Part Two), Part Three: An Assembly is a public convening – an intimate return to the act of communal gathering.

Each installment of A THOUSAND WAYS, which has been experienced around the world, plumbs the essence of theater—bringing people together in the creation of a moving live experience—to counteract social isolation exacerbated by a global public health crisis. The work explores the line between strangeness and kinship, distance and proximity, and how the most intimate assembly can become profoundly radical.
