Blessed Unrest is an award-winning theater company based in New York City, known for their imaginative and risk-taking productions. Led by Artistic Director Jessica Burr, they explore the intersection of fact and fiction through verbatim theater, performance art, and magical realism. Their thought-provoking plays, such as "Misconceptions," delve into personal stories that underlie political issues, offering a unique perspective on contemporary America.
Collaborating with artists and organizations like the Midnight Oil Collective and Yale Innovation Summit, Blessed Unrest pushes the boundaries of traditional theater and seeks to provide dimension and justice to underrepresented characters, as seen in their ongoing workshop "Untitled Othello." With a commitment to supporting and uplifting marginalized communities, Blessed Unrest continues to challenge and inspire audiences with their innovative and socially conscious productions.
