YURT
BASED ON TRUE EVENTS; Written By: Laura Liguori
YURT is a 3 Act play, from dusk to night to dawn. The setting is present day, August. It takes place in a wooden yurt, at the Esalen Institute, in Big Sur, perched over the Pacific Ocean. The Esalen Institute s a non-profit American retreat center and intentional community in Big Sur, California, which focuses on humanistic alternative education. The institute played a key role in the Human Potential Movement beginning in the 1960s. Many famous writers, philosophers, artists, have stayed and held residencies on the property such as Henry Miller, Anais Nin, Ram Dass, Aldous Huxley, Joseph Cambel, and Alan Watts. Hunter S. Thompson was a caretaker of the property and is remembered for patrolling the hot baths with guns. Please keep in mind this play is written with the intent to have floor to ceiling projections creating an atmosphere where the audience is experiencing what the characters are witnessing in their minds. YURT is not only meant to be witnessed and felt but it is written and intended to be lived/shared as in the original event/experience of the individuals involved. YURT was developed by Laura Liguori, Beto Garcia, and Jim Dalton. YURT is a mirror up of the times we live, as well as the shadows we all hold, and human beings intense desire to connect to something higher in the universe.

laura liguori to star as lilya brik off broadway NYC
"Liguori to star in two plays by Murray Mednick"- BROADWAYWORLD July 24
Acclaimed actress Laura Liguori is slated for lead roles in two upcoming productions, both plays by legendary off-Broadway pioneer Murray Mednick.
This October, Liguori will reprise the role of "Lilya Brik" in the NYC premiere of Mednick's Mayakovsky and Stalin at the Cherry Lane Theatre, a role which she originated in the 2018 world premiere production at the Lounge Theatre in Hollywood.
In February, Liguori will play "Betty" in a revival of Mednick's American Theatre Critics Association Best New Play-cited Joe and Betty in Los Angeles.
Lilya Brik was the real-life married lover and muse of Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky. Mayakovsky and Stalin is a dramatic character study that incorporates historical footage and photos to explore the parallels between their relationship, and that of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and his wife Nadya.
Joe and Betty is Mednick's hilarious and disturbing play, based on his own parents, about a poor Jewish couple living in the Catskills in 1951
"Laura has the perfect combination of intelligence, insouciance and fearlessness for the characters I create," says Mednick. "It's as if she channels something. She's open to the spirit of the person she is playing. That's her talent."
"I couldn't be more excited to resurrect the role of Lilya for a New York audience," Liguori said in a recent interview with I Heart Radio. "Mayakovsky and Stalin belongs in New York... it's very intellectual...unusual... you have to be willing to actually think.. .use your mind! Can you imagine that?"
