The Center for Contemporary Performance has announced that it will feature “PORT(AL)” by the Brooklyn Youth Chorus as part of its upcoming season.

“PORT(AL),” which explores historical figures such as historian Howard Zinn, drag king Rusty Brown, activist Clarence L. Irving, and mezzo-soprano Eugenia Farrar, started its run on May 1, 2025 and features collaborations with co-composer and co-founder and artistic director of the National Sawdust Paola Prestini, co-composer, librettist, and founder and former co-host of Radio Lab, Jad Aburmrad, and director and co-librettist Jessica Grindstaff, who is also co-founder of Phantom Limb Company.

The piece was partially developed in residency at PS21 in early 2025.

The showcase is set for June 21, 2025 at 8 p.m. in the Pavilion Theater in Chatham, NY.
