    Play about Armenian and Latin American family to be staged in NY

    The Lark Development Center will present a limited run of Adriana
    Sevahn Nichols' Night Over Erzinga, a memory play about three
    generations of an Armenian and Latin American family, which will begin
    June 7.

    The play is being developed as part of the Middle East America: A
    National New Plays Initiative, an endeavor uniting the Lark, Golden
    Thread Productions in San Francisco and Silk Road Theatre Project in
    Chicago, playbill.com reported.

    Daniella Topol (Monster at the Door, Pool Boy, Lascivious Something)
    will direct Night Over Erzinga, which will continue through June 12 at
    the Lark.

    The cast will include Mari H. Bijimenian, Matt Boston, Teddy Canez,
    Gerardo Rodriguez, Juliet Tanner, Alok Tewari, Ching Valdes-Aran and
    Brigitte Viellieu-Davis.

    According to the Lark, "Night Over Erzinga tells the story of how an
    Armenian and Latin American family can reach through time, reclaim
    their stories, and bring their children 'home.' Spanning two
    continents and three generations, this memory play reunites ancestors
    with the living, as they all yearn to make peace with the past."

    Nichols has toured the country with her award-winning solo play Taking
    Flight, which premiered at The Kirk Douglas Theatre in 2006. Her work
    has also been developed and performed at the Sundance Theater Lab,
    South Coast Repertory, The Mark Taper Forum, The Goodman Theatre, LA
    Theatre Works, The Fountain Theatre, INTAR, Rio Hondo College and
    Dixon Place NY.
