    WHaLE OPTICS

    From the mind of Thaddeus Phillips comes an equally grand and hilarious theatrical epic that connects worldwide telecommunications systems, humpback whales, Carl Sagan, and dinner at Applebee’s. Sitting on opposite sides of a whale-sized stage, audiences witness a modern Moby Dick adventure—with microphones instead of harpoons—as a sound engineer chases a whale song across continents and oceans, libraries and dive shops, to the icescapes of Antarctica.

    Performed by and made in collaboration with Brian Osborne, Makoto Hirano, Lee Ann Etzold, James Ijames, and Emily Letts. Appropriate for ages 12+.

    Lady M

    Lady M highlights its demented anti-heroine, played by Barrymore Award-winning actress Catharine Slusar, by heightening the text of Macbeth with voice and movement that is equally extreme. An all-female ensemble explores what might happen if Lady Macbeth summoned Shakespeare's witches - now a coven of ten - on the heath for her own purposes. The chorus of witches acts out the play's various roles for Lady Macbeth's benefit, creating a moveable set out of their bodies while their voices produce layered beds of sound. Like a hive of bees, they alternately serve and overtake their queen.

    Conceived by Adrienne Mackey and Catharine Slusar.

    Starring Catharine Slusar with Mary Lee Bednarek, Kate Black-Regan, Amanda Damron, Karen Getz, Colleen Hughes, Kelly Jennings, Jamie McKittrick, Charlotte Northeast, Catherine Palfenier, Wendy Staton, and Anna Watson. Appropriate for ages 14+.
