Continuing its 2022-2023 theatrical season, Two River Theater presents Living & Breathing, written by Mando Alvarado and directed by Rebecca Martínez.

About Living & Breathing

The impulsive purchase of some provocative art – a living Latino man who is paid to behave as a statue – shatters a multi-ethnic friend group by sparking questions of commodification, stereotypes, and complacency. While the validity of the artist’s vision might be up for debate, one thing is undeniable: the friendship between these three men is much more fragile than they had realized.

“Living & Breathing fully embodies the spirit of Two River,” says Artistic Director Justin Waldman. “This hilarious and thought provoking world premiere was developed right here in Red Bank by the exceptional creative team of Mando Alvarado and Rebecca Martínez. It is a rare piece that will have you laughing, challenge your assumptions, and spark poignant conversations.”

Cast and creative team

The full cast includes Chris Gardner as Jeremy, Carlos Ibarra as Ruben, Michael Markham as Todd and Christopher M. Ramirez as Michael.

The creative team includes Scenic Designer Raul Abrego, Costume Designer Christopher Vergara, Lighting Designer Cat Tate Starmer, Sound Designer and Composer Megumi Katayama, Fight Coordinator Sean Griffin (UnkleDave’s Fight-House), EDI Facilitator Artists Heal, Noelle Diane Johnson, Stage Manager Genevieve Ortiz.
