The Artists & Their Shows

"Diamonds and Toads"

By David Hanzal
Diamonds and Toads is a wickedly funny, campy fairy tale for grown-ups turned all the way up to eleven. When a kind young woman is blessed with the ability to have diamonds fall from her lips whenever she speaks, her greedy stepfamily turns her into a human ATM – but a pissed-off fairy has other plans.
"Immortal Husk"

By Alo Osberg
Leave the husk of your body for a moment and experience the outsized spirit of an iconic nut, until it too sheds its shell for another form. Performed with AP Looze, Patrick Connelly, Heather MacKenzie, and Tricia Towey.
"Woven"

By Andrew Young
You never know what you might find when you go for a walk. A short meditation exploring life's questions, with puppets woven from natural materials.
"Rotten Eggs"

By Heidi Tungseth
A “day in the life” of geriatric eggs in a 47 year old’s ovary. Or rather, a month cycle. They still just want a shot at life… will anyone get lucky?
"Feeling Grim"

By Sarah Frechette (Shadow Priestess)
In this delightful and absurdly cathartic spectacle, even the roots of the deadliest nightshade join in the play, ultimately proving that what's reaped is what's sown. Co-written by Sarah & Ceili Clemens
"Milk & Succor"

By Kaden Kelsheimer
A struggling new mother attempts to take a relaxing bath. Instead she encounters a troubling manifestation of distorted love and maternal devotion.
