Selene

‘THERE IS STUFF INSIDE US.
WILD STUFF INSIDE US.’

A young girl is watching the moon landings on repeat, entranced by those astronaut’s weightlessness
A bunch of teenagers are swimming under a lunar eclipse, lost in what might happen next
A mis-matched couple are watching a horror film at a drive in cinema, about to break apart

SELENE is a radical exploding of an ancient myth.
It’s about how we grow up living defined by our bodies, and about what happens when that changes.
It’s a story, a score, and a description of a film.

It’s a story about what we’re stuck in the orbit of.
It’s a story about the light sides of us and the dark sides of us.
And it’s about the stuff inside us. All the wild stuff inside of us.

It’s a story told by a solo storyteller and the audience who have gathered, accompanied by an epic electronic score.

Tickets coming soon!

Parade

Tony Award-winning Parade explores the endurance of love and hope against all odds. With a book by acclaimed playwright Alfred Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy) and a rousing, colorful and haunting score by Jason Robert Brown. Parade is a moving examination of the darkest corners of America’s history.

In 1913, Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-raised Jew living in Georgia, is put on trial for the murder of Mary Phagan, a factory worker under his employ. Already guilty in the eyes of everyone around him, a sensationalist publisher and a janitor’s false testimony seal Leo’s fate. His only defenders are a governor with a conscience and his assimilated Southern wife, who finds the strength and love to become his greatest champion.

Daring, innovative and bold, Parade is filled with soaring music and a heart-wrenching story, offering a moral lesson about the dangers of prejudice and ignorance that should not be forgotten.
