My Name Is Rachel Corrie Begins New York Debut Off-Broadway Oct. 5
Long-awaited U.S. premiere of ‘My Name is Rachel Corrie’ set for Minetta Lane Theatre
“My Name is Rachel Corrie,” the award-winning play based on the writings of Rachel Corrie, is at long last coming to the United States. Initially set to open at the historic Making Theatre in New York on March 22 of this year, the play was “postponed indefinitely” on short notice by the New York Theatre Workshop amid political pressure over the one-woman piece’s humanistic content about the military occupation of Palestinian Territories. Shortly after the derailment at the Making Theatre, however, the the one-act performance found a home in New York at Off-Broadway’s Minetta Lane Theatre. The play opens October 5.

Rachel’s Words
“My Name is Rachel Corrie” was scheduled to open at the New York Theatre Workshop on March 22nd. Amid political pressure, the play was “postponed indefinitely,” and The “Rachel’s Words” initiative was born. It was made up of a broad spectrum of groups and individuals who believed that Rachel’s words and her message of human rights and justice should be heard. “Rachel’s Words” was an event in March of 2006 to keep Rachel’s message form being censored. It has since become a movement.

Guare Am I? Feeling “in limbo” after high school, Dodds enrolled in a nearby community college where she was cast as Bananas in John Guare’s The House of Blue Leaves. “The part was completely wrong—she’s Italian and 40 and I was about 20, but doing that play was it for me.” Next stop: Juilliard, where, as luck would have it, Dodds performed in a new Guare play and became friends with the playwright. “It all came full circle,” she says now.
