It’s 1963, and Nora is the perfect housewife. She was built to be. The most authentically humanoid robot prototype yet created, she’s undergoing a trial run in the home of robotic engineer Martin and his teenage kids, Ruth and Wally. But Ruth can’t get over how much Nora looks like her own mother Lillian, who has disappeared without a trace. Martin faces surging pressure from his employers to make Nora the new and improved model for motherhood, and Ruth is forced to work against her father and the powerful corporation behind him as she desperately tries to track down her real mother.

Away, You Ethiop! By David Samuel
2024-10-15 19:30 - 21:00 | LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, 31-10 Thomson Ave, Long Island City, 11101, United States
Away, You Ethiop! For Shakespeare lovers, it’s a line in A MidSummer Night’s Dream. For actor/artist David Samuel, it’s the title of the solo show meets concept album meets short film that tells the story of what it was like to grow up the eldest son in an immigrant Habesha (Ethiopian/Eritrean) household in the DMV. Think of it as if RAMY was a Christian-raised, fat East African and could also rap and produce music really well (like Donald Glover), and really loved the mediums of live theater and storytelling (like Shakespeare). He also has a sick impression of his Dad that really sounds nothing like his Dad. That’s Away, You Ethiop!
