Synopsis:
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.

Synopsis:
TINY LIGHTS: Memory?s Storehouse/Infinite Miniature is a theatrical collaboration containing dual solos by playwrights/performers Lenora Champagne (Memory?s Storehouse) and Lizzie Olesker (Infinite Miniature). TINY LIGHTS presents an intimate yet heightened look at the richness of memory and story contained within everyday objects and gestures. Incorporating elements of Object theater, gestural dance and poetic text, TINY LIGHTS unfolds intimately, with the audience seated on stage at the New Ohio theatre. Using minimally technical, ordinary household elements (lamps, clotheslines, a portable record player, a suitcase, and a wig), TINY LIGHTS returns after a highly successful run at the Invisible Dog in Brooklyn. the 90-minute performance examines the small things in one's life while revealing the unexpectedly cosmic. the landscape of the body, domestic memories and personal history converge via the lost rooms we live in.
