Synopsis: | An army of puppets and a magical wind create two fantastical worlds. On The Bright Side, Louisy and Syl live happily together in the safety of their treehouse until Syl ventures off to be a hero in the far away war-torn Lop Side. Alone for the first time, Louisy falls victim to the whims of tiny creatures at her doorstep. When the two sides collide, impossibilities become real, and both realize the lines between right and wrong are not as clear as they thought. Is there a way to grow without being hurt and hurting others? How do we reconcile the call of the unknown with our commitments to those we love at home? Haunting and provocative, Bird House is an upside-down fairy tale of loyalty, loss and growing up under siege | |||||

Notes: | adaptation of Homer's Odyssey | |||||
Synopsis: | The production uses anachronism and humor to explore the repurcussions of war. This description is from the press release: "Odysseus's voyage is a journey of redemption. After a decade of fighting the Trojan War, triumphant Odysseus ignores Cassandra's plea for protection from his soldiers. Angered by the brutality of the soldiers, the goddess Athena punishes him with a great storm that flings him off course. Odysseus leads his men through many of the famous trials of Homer's Odyssey (The Lotus Eaters, the Cyclops, Circe, The Underworld and The Sirens) as he attempts to reconcile his hubris with the tragic results it has on his fortunes. Taking inspiration from clown and dance, this production utilizes the bold physicality of the actors to stage the impossibilities of the play (including shape-shifting from men to animals, a towering Cyclops, a half-man/half-woman prophet and an epic sea storm). This production illuminates the theme of transformation as Athena shape-shifts into a stag, a pig and Penelope, while Poseidon changes into a rope and Telemachus. However, the deepest transformation will be the nature of Odysseus himself." | |||||
