What does midnight bring? Raucous decisions are abound; logic, reason, morals, and societal pressure are released intimacy expands; the creatures that appear; the light that exists; the pleasant daze that washes over those who drift; the smells; the noises; the silence. We reflect on what midnight does to our minds and bodies, and to the world around us. We are all connected, and despite our differences, we are all in search of our own midnight.
"There must be something perfect in this world
and I believe it comes to us all
at midnight. " - Mike McGee
Wild Women
Written and Directed by: Brittany Price Anderson
Co-Created by: Brittany Price Anderson, Claire Kaplan, Fate Richey, and Gabrielle Wilson
Three goddesses are summoned to Earth through an ancient ritual; instead, the heavens send the women your mother hoped you would never become. These grotesque creatures go on a hilarious, offensive journey of feminine storytelling (from Eve to Cinderella) to discover what has happened to the Wild Woman.
Cookin' With Janice: Simmerin'
Created by: Gabrielle Wilson
Written by: Kathleen Gullion and Gabrielle Wilson
Janice, a popular tv personality, gears up for her 5th anniversary of her cooking show in the midst of personal family trauma. As the audience for her live show, we witness the high-octane, tomato-loving hostess as real life seeps into the cracks of her seemingly perfect camera world. Gabrielle Wilson excels at audience interaction, comedic timing, and Janice's complete meltdown. We want you to join us at the table!
Oneironauts
Directed by: Richie Schiraldi
Co-created by: Brittany Price Anderson, Ben Heustess, Fate Richey, Richie Schiraldi, and Gabrielle Wilson
Oneironauts, (Oh-Nigh-Run-Oughts), meaning dream-walkers, is a show that uses the visual poetry of physical theatre, dance theatre, and partner acrobatics to create a visceral experience for the audience and performers alike. We submerge the audience into the dreamworld, where space is fluid and time begins to melt around us. Only here can we encounter the moments, memories, and shadows our subconscious has tucked away. Using the ensembles virtuosic and precarious movement, we invite the audience to engage with us on a deeper level, and dare them to face the abstract and unknown.
