Living Theater\'s \'Home/sick\' to Open With Storm Benefit

Theaters across the city are rolling up their sleeves to deal with the wake of Hurricane Sandy. At the Living Theater at 21 Clinton St., the return engagement of the production of “Home/sick,” will be performed as a reading lit by flashlight on Thursday night at 8 p.m. The show's $18 tickets are pay-what-you-can, with proceeds to benefit hurricane relief.

Put on by the Assembly Theater Project, the company will be promoting the show on the Lower East Side today to anyone who is stranded, without power or just a theater devotee. The show was scheduled to run from Nov. 1 â€" Nov. 18, but because the theater is currently without power, full performances scheduled for Thursday and Friday will not be held. Michelle Tabnick, a spokeswoman for the company, said that there is a plan for a performance on Saturday, but “the power has to come on first.”

“Home/sick,” a creation of the Assembly, a collective of multidisciplinary performance artists, looks at the Weather Underground, a 1960s radical group.
