Notes on Killing Seven Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Board Members

Notes on Killing Seven Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Board Members

Notes on Killing Seven Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Board Members is coming to the Yale Repertory Theatre on April 25th to May 17th.

Tickets are on sale at www.yalerep.org

About the show

By Mara Vélez Meléndez
Directed by Javier Antonio González

Early one morning, Lolita, a young Boricua trans woman arrives at a suspicious (let’s say evil) Wall Street office with a mission: to take down all seven members of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Board. Much to her surprise, the receptionist who welcomes her has, more than a story to tell, a show to put on. A revenge saga giving existential drag extravaganza, Mara Vélez Meléndez’s subversively funny play takes aim at the unelected officials who think they know what’s best for the people—and for our own bodies—and the elected ones who appoint them.

Production support for Notes on Killing Seven Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Board Members is provided by Yale’s Binger Center for New Theatre.

About The Elm City Freddy Fixer Parade – Originating in 1962, the Freddy Fixer Parade is nationally recognized as one of the oldest Black American parade in the northeast. As such, it is incumbent upon our community to honor this distinctive heritage and to always remember to continue to pay homage to the founders, the late Dr. Frederick F. Smith, Edna Carnegie-Baker, and Dr. Charles Twyman. Their vision is one of collective solidarity toward the common goal of neighborhood beautification that culminates into a yearly celebration through the Elm City Freddy Fixer Parade. Securing our own legacy through this consistent, constructive and harmonious display of our cultural norms, values and ethics will be the impetus that conveys the story of our history we want told for many generations to come.
