After the War
About
The adults have all disappeared, seduced by the siren song of war. In a reverse Pied Piper, it is the children who remain, burdened by memory but lacking comprehension. Three kids traverse the crumbling infrastructure of America, seeking a way to bring about the end, to bring about the beginning - to arrive home.

Maybe You Can't Tell
About
Maybe You Can't Tell is a raucous, experimental new performance that deals with the dissonance between colliding bodies, all pitched out of tune and searching desperately for a common song. Told in rules, apologies and snapshot encounters, interspersed with the story of a lost, wandering God, Maybe You Can’t Tell could even be called an introduction to life on earth.
Featuring
Will Bowling, Vignette Ching, Kat Johnston, Chris Kaminstein and Andrew Vaught
Personnel
Joanna Russo (director), Anna O'Donoghue (writer), Phil Cramer, Selena Poznak, Austin Riotte (designers)

Vigils
About
Vigils returns us to the world of Penelope, widow-in-waiting to the long-lost Odysseus. In our telling of Homer's classical tale, decades, centuries have passed with still no sign. And long after Ithaca has given up and moved on, a stranger appears on her shores. Enoch—a man lost to the wind and waves, whose memory is all but gone. He is pursuing Death, a witty but weary demigod, who is himself hunting the elusive Odysseus. When Penelope's world is upended and brought to the brink by these unexpected guests, she must discover anew the strength to carry on and a peace that moves beyond all loss.
Featuring
Jaki Bradley (Penelope), Elizabeth Bryant (Serving Girl), Conner Marx (Ferryman), Austin Riotte (Enoch), Joanna Russo (Athena), Jonathon Slaughter (Death)
