 Cankerblossom  Live Arts
Pig Iron Theatre Company
Welcome to a dark fairy tale for kids aged 9 to 90. It begins, as so many of these stories do, with a knock at the door. A young couple discovers a cardboard baby on their stoop. They grow to love the child, who is completely flat, as their own. Then someone or some thing takes away the baby to the Flat World, a planar landscape populated by characters whimsical, sinister, and flat as pancakes.
CHICKEN  Live Arts
Charlotte Ford
Turning the other cheek can be a very bad idea. Deep beneath the icy swells, a nuclear powered submarine carries three imbeciles in charge of a highly classified mission. A buzz-cut she-beast, a Casper Milquetoast somnambulist cross-dresser, and a passive-aggressive Elvis devotee vie for bunk beds, safety goggles, and poopie suits.
First Love by Samuel Beckett  Live Arts
Gare St Lazare Players / Conor Lovett
A young man, expelled from the family home, takes refuge on a bench by a canal. There he meets a woman who takes him home. She is his first—perhaps only—love and a major hindrance to his desire to rid himself of contact with others. Conor Lovett's solo performance of Samuel Beckett’s First Love is a masterpiece of tragicomedy, featuring the bone-dry humor of a character besieged with a clutter of emotions.
FREEDOM CLUB  Live Arts
New Paradise Laboratories & The Riot Group
I conquered my dreams! – John Wilkes Booth A fierce, undead tension animates the American frontier: the struggle between the freedom of the individual and the question of who or what belongs in the club. FREEDOM CLUB is a savage comedy about the delirium and danger in American extremism, a hallucination on national themes.
Journey to the West - Reinterpreting Tradition Series  Live Arts
Danny Yung
From China's preeminent experimental theater artist come three ruminations on the experiences of Chinese artists visiting the West. Mixing conversation, live demonstration, and video, Danny Yung reflects on the significant Chinese opera artists who have traveled to the West, how these visits influence the development of the performing arts, and how they have inspired Danny’s recent theater works.
¡EL CONQUISTADOR!  Live Arts
Lucidity Suitcase Intercontinental
In a small Colombian village, Polonio Castro, a poor coffee farmer, is hooked on telenovelas (Latin American soap operas) when civil war and daily lottery losses force him to flee to the big city. He arrives in Bogotá with his potted plant and the dream of becoming a telenovela star; but instead finds a job as a doorman in a high-rise apartment building.
Romeo and Juliet  Live Arts
Nature Theater of Oklahoma
Hello. Can you tell me the story of Romeo and Juliet? A series of phone calls were placed to people who were asked to tell, in their own words, the story of Romeo and Juliet. But no one seemed to exactly remember the plot.
The Sun Also Rises (The Select) based on the novel by Ernest Hemingway  Live Arts
Elevator Repair Service
You’re an expatriate. You drink yourself to death. You become obsessed by sex. . . . Sounds like a swell life. Travel 1920s Europe with a group of weary, aimless, and frequently inebriated American ex-patriates searching for identity, redemption, and diversion.
