Sarah Jones is performing in "America, Who Hurt You?" at the Polonsky Shakespeare Center in Brooklyn.
That is the confirmed extent of the available information on the production. The source material for this item consists solely of a photograph caption identifying the performer, the production title, and the venue. No additional details — the director, the creative team, the running dates, the cast beyond Jones herself, or critical reception — appear in the source, and Arts & Voices does not publish unverified claims.
What the caption does establish is itself notable. Sarah Jones has built her career as a multi-character performer, and a new show bearing her name at the Polonsky Shakespeare Center — the home of Theatre for a New Audience — places her back on a Brooklyn stage. The title, "America, Who Hurt You?," signals the show's framing: a direct, interrogating address to the nation, consistent with the premise suggested by the production's tagline about Jones "playing the melting pot."
Jones performs the piece in the Polonsky Shakespeare Center, the venue that has hosted Theatre for a New Audience since it opened in Fort Greene in 2013.
Readers seeking details on tickets, performance dates, and the full creative team should consult the venue's official listings, as this report reflects only verified caption information.
The production's title poses a question to the country; the show itself now stands ready to answer it for Brooklyn audiences.
