     Fort Point Theatre Channel invites you to a very special event. As a fundraiser for RESIST, a Boston-based progressive funder of organizing across the country, we are screening this remarkable documentary about the Wampanoag of Southeastern Massachusetts and the revival of their language

By acclaimed filmmaker Anne Makepeace, We Still Live Here: Âs Nutayuneân (winner of multiple awards) tells the story of the revival of an indigenous language with no living speakers, the first time this has ever happened.

About the Film and the Wampanoag Language Reclamation Project

Jessie Little Doe began having dreams: familiar-looking people from another time spoke to her in an incomprehensible language. Later, she realized they were speaking Wampanoag, a language no one had used for more than a century. Determined to breathe life back into the language, Jessie founded the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project to return fluency to the Wampanoag Nation. She has received a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship for this work.

Many thanks for your support for RESIST.

About The Play  

Lizzie B makes shock art. Arden buys beautiful things. A young man wants to be famous. In a modern world addicted to sex, drugs, fashion, and celebrity, three friends make a pact that will change their lives. "Magnificent Waste" explores America's appetite for excess and presents an unsettling portrait of its own undoing: a glittering but brutal exploration of modern society's superficiality and the objectification of the human body.   

Magnificent Waste had its world premiere in 2011 at Factory 449, a theatre collective in Washington, DC.

About The Playwright

Caridad Svich has been short-listed for the PEN Award in Drama three times. She has received the National Latino Playwrighting Award, the Whitfield Cook Award for New Writing, the HOLA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Playwrighting, the Lee Reynolds Award from the League of Professional Theatre Women, and the Rosenthal New Play Prize. Her theatre pieces and songs, written in English and Spanish, have been presented across the U.S. and abroad at diverse venues, including Denver Center Theatre,  Mixed Blood Theatre, Main Street Theatre, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, The Women's Project, Repertorio Espanol, INTAR, 59East59, Victory Gardens, McCarren Park Pool, and 7 Stages.

About FPTC's Reading Series

Fort Point Theatre Channel is launching a series of readings of full-length plays to explore both new works and established works we rarely get to read, let alone see. When we say informal, we mean informal: the model is a group of friends getting together to read a play together.

Curated by Christie Lee Gibson

Are you of a singularly sanguine, choleric, melancholic, or phlegmatic inclination? Exclamation Point! 9, the ninth entry in our popular series of short new works, was inspired by the Four Ancient Humours, from the theory that the human body was filled with four basic substances. When the Four Humours were in balance, a person would be healthy. Disease resulted when they were not.

Alignment, a play by Barry Eitel

Beds, a play by Susan Cinoman

A Better World, an excerpt from a play in progress), by Nick Thorkelson

The Fifth Humor, by Rick Winterson

4squared, by Six One Seven Dance Collective

Please Remove Your Shoes.

Please Remove Your Shoes is a revealing documentary about broken government process. It is also an empathetic story about a half dozen public servants who try to fix it. And it is a familiar topic to all of us who have flown in the last fifteen years: the security routine at the airport, first the FAA and now the TSA.

Please Remove Your Shoes examines the period before 911 and the current situation and asks the questions that make Washington squirm: “Are we really any better for all our money spent? Or is it safe to say that nothing has changed?"
