Tonight at 6.30pm, the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center at the CUNY Graduate Center will conclude its "Spotlight Japan" program with a reading from Akio Miyazawa's new play, At the Entrance of New Town, translated by John K. Gillespie. The play, which premiered in Japan only last month, examines middle-class life in the suburbs of large Japanese cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Miyazawa is a ground-breaking experimentalist whose company, Yuenchi Saisei Jigyo-dan, has been producing work since the 1990s. Here, the reading of Miyazawa's play will be directed by Jay Scheib, associate professor of music and theatre arts at MIT, whose staging last year of Daniel Veronese's Women Dreamt Horses was a highlight of the BAiT (Buenos Aires in Translation) festival.
