WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:

“Immigrant life in Queens, as told in the intimate, rich, comic, ironic and sad stories so often seen but not heard in America’s big cities... Archie Bunker doesn’t live here anymore -- not in the Queens of Crossing the Blvd. The first-person narratives are engaging... The stories are so different, and yet many of the immigrants’ lives are so similar... What links them all is the desperation and desire that brought them here. As one immigrant says in Crossing the BLVD, 'America can do without you, but you can’t do without America'.”
The Washington Post Lynne Duke.

PROJECTS:

Crossing the BLVD: strangers, neighbors, aliens in a new america
A cross-media project by Warren Lehrer and Judith Sloan that documents and portrays the largely invisible lives of new immigrants and refugees that live in the borough of Queens, New York - the most ethincally diverse locality in the United States.

Books & CDs
Books and CDs document and portray the complexity and luminescence of character in relation to social structures. Books include limited edition artists books and trade publications.

Theatre & Performances
Multi-character performances combine humor, pathos and a love of the absurd. Theatrical pieces juxtapose a wide range of characters who reveal themselves through dramatic monologue and confessional humor. Performances range from readings to fully-staged productions.

Workshops & Lectures
Warren Lehrer, writer and designer, and Judith Sloan, actress, oral historian and audio artist, each have over twenty years of experience as artists and educators. They lecture and run workshops in storytelling, oral history, acting, character development, visual literature, and the art of the book.
