Obie Award-winning 600 Highwaymen presents “A Thousand Ways: An Assembly,” written and created by Abigail Browde and Michael Silverstone, with Andrew Kircher.

In a performance created by strangers using a carefully crafted and shared script, sixteen audience members come together for one hour to construct an evocative story of perseverance. This timely and unique theatrical work brings people together in the creation of a moving live experience, with no audience present.

“A Thousand Ways: An Assembly” explores the line between strangeness and kinship, distance and proximity, and how the most intimate assembly can become profoundly radical.

During the one-hour event, a group of no more than 16 strangers will construct a shared and moving life experience available in multiple, unmoderated patron-performances in locations throughout Eisenhower Auditorium:

• 1:30, 3 and 4:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1;
• 2:30, 4:30 and 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 20;
• 4:30, 6 and 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 8 and 9; and
• Noon, 1:30 and 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10
