Synopsis: | The Mask of Medusa is a short play that will fuse traditional Greek theatre techniques with modern movement and mask work that explores a contemporary telling of the Medusa myth. The piece follows Medusa as a young maiden in a modern context and plays with the idea of the tragic hero exploring Medusa's grotesque transformation from picture-perfect girl into tragic, gorgon monster. Text, movement, song, and visual art coordinate to convey the story and the emotions. | |||||

Synopsis: | Somewhere amidst the cracked asphalt and overgrown weeds on the highway to nowhere is Miss Hope's, a small-town diner where wistful wannabes with half-forgotten dreams meet, mingle and tell their stories. Consisting of three timeless tales with more than a little laughter, tears, irony and a pinch of The Twilight Zone, and told against the backdrop of the presidential inaugurations of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Miss Hope's is written by Jack Karp, Alisha Silver and Joseph Samuel Wright of the Nylon Fusion Writers Collective. Everyone comes to Miss Hope's Diner, the place people end up when they have nowhere left to go. Prom queens and football heroes, school teachers and businessmen, housewives suffocated by their well-ordered lives, young people trying to come to terms with their sexuality, the ones who couldn't make it in the big city, those who still want to try and an old man who has seen all this happen over and over again. Miss Hope's is where plans for the future become a march from innocence, where passing through temptation can lead to either vice or virtue, and where broken promises come from broken dreams. | |||||

Synopsis: | Campy, catty, and uncontainable, My Big, Thick Schtick includes snipping sorority "girls," buffed boys, and the greatest battle of all time: Joan Crawford vs. Bette Davis. The night features "Welcome to My Haze," a spoof of the spoof of Brenda Dickson's infamous lifestyle video, "Jack in Vain," the fable of four ambitious bartenders competing for their chance to bed a pop star, "Hot Mess High Tea," the sensation of a sorority tea with a trannie at the table, "Mommy Drinkest," a male Mommy Dearest faces his adopted daughter, and "What Ever Happened to Baby in the Corner?" a No Exit with Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and Vivien Leigh trapped together. Schtick is an extravaganza with song, dance, drag, camp, shirtless boys, a taxidermied cat, and an otter puppet as host. | |||||
