Jul 9 -12: Do Not Do This Ever Again
 |
Written by Karinne Keithley
Directed by Maria Goyanes |
In a landscape of lost love and modern loneliness, a company of strangers map a tentative journey towards just letting go. A guided tour of the memory palace. A theatrical/music composition, from simple counterpoint voices to freestanding opera. Indoor environmental theatre in four movements. |

Lost traditions. Memory gaps. Lessons forgotten. Action and images shift in the mind of a woman with Alzheimer's, flickering from past to present, from her daughter's home to the nursing home. Who are we when we can't remember? An intergenerational meditation on the fluid nature of identity and our national inability to remember history. With original music and video. |

Songs by Neil Young adapted for the stage by the ensemble

This song cycle, by legendary singer-songwriter Neil Young, has been compared to Thornton Wilder’s Our Town and Sherwood Anderson’s Winesberg Ohio as a portrait of the changing face of small town America.
Voted one of the best albums of 2003 by Rolling Stone Magazine. |

Jul 30 – Aug 2: Heistman
Heistman is stuck—inside the bank he is robbing with his henchmen, inside his own tortured head, and inside the feeling he can never have success or love. The cops have the joint surrounded, and have no answers. But the hostages do. Dog Day Afternoon meets The Unabomber Manifesto. Dance/theater for visionaries, the weak at heart, and the pleasure-seekers alike. |
