    About This Event

    Organ Monk Sings — Atlantic Tour pairs playwright and organist Gregory Lewis with performer Raina Welch at Queens Theatre. Lewis's work, notable for plain language and an ear for spoken rhythm, and Welch's stage practice, which emphasizes phrasing and ensemble storytelling, frame a performance in which structured text and disciplined pacing carry the piece.

    About Organ Monk Sings - Atlantic Tour

    Now at Queens Theatre, *Organ Monk Sings – Atlantic Tour* arrives in New York as a play built around voice, rhythm, and the afterlife of a touring act. Gregory Lewis and Raina Welch lead a piece that treats travel as both itinerary and argument, moving between performance and the mechanics behind it. The production’s New York run places it in a city with a long history of touring work being tested, revised, and re-heard onstage. One clear strength is its restraint: it lets structure and sound carry the meaning without forcing conclusions.
