About This Event

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.
