Dwarf Tossing
By Jack Heifner. Directed by Matt Lyle.
BOOTSTRAPS COMEDY THEATER

Is it a sport? Or is it a demeaning spectacle?

Far Away

Holy Days
By Sally Nemeth. Directed by Elizabeth Ware.
ECHO THEATRE COMPANY / CORE PERFORMANCE MANUFACTORY

“So much gone, that what was left hardly looked like a place a person could call home. There was a point when even I thought things couldn’t get any worse. Then it did get worse. Again and again. But after a while, there was nothing left that could surprise us, and that was the beauty of it all.” –Molly, Holy Days.

King Ubu
Adaptation by Steven Walters and Allison Tolman. Directed by Kelly Russell.
SECOND THOUGHT THEATRE
The story of King Ubu draws its inspiration from Shakespeare’s Macbeth and tells the tale of a heinous man called Ubu, and his equally unsavory wife, who wants to claim the crown of Poland for his own. This hilarious satire is full of ridiculous and illogical incident, vulgarity, violence, and a fabricated science of imaginary solutions.
World Premiere.

CARA MIA THEATER COMPANY
