Homage to Aristophanes

Synopsis:
Homage to Aristophanesis not pure Aristophanes but an attempt to capture his spirit - his inventiveness, satire, physical humor, zaniness, and bawdiness. Perhaps Aristophanes would have written it if he were alive today. It incorporates several Aristophanes plays - his fans will recognize them - into a soup of comedic techniques that he invented or that he inspired: improvisation, slapstick, antic asides, alienation, mime, audience involvement, clownery, chamber theater, vaudeville, & commedia del arte.

Tango As-If

Synopsis:
Tango As-If was an irresistible opportunity to splice together my favorite philosophy with my favorite dance music. This is one of many possible outcomes. My hope is that the audience has as much fun seeing it as we had putting it together.

Walt Whitman, Mystical Musician

Synopsis:
Walt Whitman, Mystical Musician is a dramatic collage of scenes from Whitmans life interspersed with musical settings of his poetry. Americas most innovative and celebrated poet was an extremely complex person beneath the rough, simple front he presented to the world. This piece is an in-between thing: more than a play but not quite an opera; a serious drama with comedic touches; half-prose, half-poetry; somewhere between song and speech; a performance not fully staged but not wholly read, with the reading part what might plausibly be read in the normal course of events - a poem under construction, a recently composed letter.
