A Unique Verses At Work production
 
This latest version of Verses @ Work comes at an historic juncture. Fresh off tour with the Public Theater’s Mobile Unit in the summer of 2021, Malik Work was able to bring an abridged version of the show directly to the streets of NYC. He was inspired and transformed by the overwhelmingly positive, and enthusiastic feedback from everyday folks in the city, and his collaborators at the Public Theater alike. Malik developed the show daily, and joyfully, on the very streets where the story initially took shape. The Mobile Unit’s Summer of Joy partnered with the New York City Department of Transportation and the National Black Theatre to uplift communities with free theater in plazas throughout all five boroughs. After a year and half long quarantine, and in response to the pandemic, the tour was extremely well received. It featured Verses @ Work, as well as a community stage hosted by NBT, along with the Mobile Unit’s timely, astoundingly joyful and inventive production entitled Shakespeare: Call & Response. Malik also played several iconic Shakespeare characters in the latter, served as sound designer for the show, and spun records before each show as the tour’s DJ.‘
Work’ is indeed an apt moniker for the Harlem-born creative. This show at Joe's Pub is the culmination of a summer worth of development, with some amazing new partners at the Public Theater!
