This is a new music-theater work from The Talking Band. Set in a New York City post office, it follows the lives of four postal workers and three neighborhood apartment dwellers whose lives are intertwined in a variety of ways. They are joined by three musicians whose harmonies weave together with the characters' conversations to create a rich musical setting. Composer/author Ellen Maddow collaborated with mathematician Marjorie Senechal to create Delicious Rivers, exploring the areas where the interests of theatre and mathematics intersect: the pleasure of deductive reasoning and the solution of a mystery, obsession with the relationship between order and the unexpected, and the search for and delight in the discovery of pattern and meaning.

Flip Side is a comedy of longing, misperceptions, and mismatches. Two sets of characters-played by the same six actors-occupy two different worlds. The inhabitants of Drizzle Plaza-a bleak and empty place, like a city where everyone has gone on vacation-are drowning in the seductive power of infatuation, yearning, and regret. Meanwhile, on the flip side, is the Waterfall family in a world of constant motion and relentless cheerfulness with a dose of claustrophobia. And then the worlds begin to mingle

Serial Mystery

written by Lisa DAmour, Ellen Maddow, Lizzie Olesker and Paul Zimet. Each episode will be a self-contained theater piece that can be appreciated by itself but each will also end in a 'cliff-hanger'. The four writers are working in the tradition of Dickenss serial novels, or television serials, but wish to combine the seductiveness of the form with the vividness, immediacy, and theatricality of live theater

The Necklace is a new serial mystery in eight episodes from The Talking Band. This description is from the press release: "The Necklace is a drama set in a grand, decaying house on the edge of a moor. It is a house of endless rooms and hidden passageways: of basements, attics, and secret stairways. A house that is antiquated but equipped with up-to the minute technology--wireless modems on moss-covered desks. In this house of multiple realities--often hidden from one another--live a group of people whose identities and relationships unfold in surprising ways in each new episode. The house is a hub, a crossroads, and a battleground in a struggle for survival between generations; between old ways of doing business and the new global economics.

PAINTED SNAKE IN A PAINTED CHAIR is a story of five long-time friends, whose unexpected friendship is as solid and intense as a family's. The character's stories unfold in a manner that induces the sensation of reading a novel: one savors the discovery of seemingly disparate events until they are ultimately linked together. The house where they meet also functions as a character in the play. When they gather there they feel hyper-real and larger-than-life. On the evening in which the play is set, they gather to expel a swarm of bees that have moved into the attic. As a result, the house reveals some of its mysterious secrets. Music amplifies the heightened sense of meaning the friends have when they are together. It pours forth suddenly from unexpected places: when someone lifts the lid of a pot of soup, switches on a lamp, or sinks down onto a sofa, drenching the atmosphere with mystery, hunger, fear or beauty.

In Panic! Euphoria! Blackout, three traders sit at a table swapping and bartering objects with encoded values, receiving orders and instructions by earpiece, and attempting to stay ahead of the ever-changing numbers that broadcast swings in the market. As they get caught in unpredictable swells and currents that they have no control over, their place in it all becomes clear: they are outsidersmiddlemen who bear all the responsibility and none of the power. In exploring their relationship to each other and their society, this unique theatrical piece looks at the profound impact of lending, trade, debt, and finance in our culture. The play is informed by today's financial crises while taking inspiration from the paintings of Renaissance painter Marinus van Reymerswaele and the diary of the Jewish Renaissance businesswoman Gluckel of Hamlen.
