Blind Spot

written by Bret Fetzer & Juliet Waller Pruzan
directed by Rachel Katz Carey
with songs by Rick Miller
Jan. 16 – Feb. 14, 2009

When 8 year old Kirsty Vanderkamp finds a hidden world in the nooks and crannies of her house — dust bunny farmers under the bed, a burlesque show in the butter compartment, a tabloid published in the china cabinet — she also finds herself caught up the wake of Aura Rotter, an ambitious social climber working her way up the rungs of society, and the lovelorn Iota Potts, a farmboy who risks everything that ever mattered to him to win Aura’s heart. Kirsty travels from the depths of the drains to the heights of the lighting fixture as she tries to make sense of this miniature world — and her own.

REVIEWS

“Blind Spot wends its way into your imagination… I found Blind Spot something of a revelation: I saw new life and new civilizations, and boldly went where no man had gone before. Way cool.” — Seattle Weekly

“The play reinvents the house in a childlike way as a rich, surprising place and satirizes all kind of adults, from the poor devout to the filthy rich.” — The Stranger

S2

written by Edward Mast | directed by Robert G. Leigh
May 9 – June 7, 2008 | Fri-Sat at 8 pm

Juniper Berolzheimer & Alex Garnett

Sardonic, action-packed satire S2 follows sexy teen hustler Slate, who wants to sell a suitcase full of mysterious white powder and finds himself plunged into a head-spinning world of prostitution, murder, mind-control, criminal and corporate syndicates, government conspiracy, guerilla warfare, space-walks, and international subterfuge.

Fusing stylized language in the vein of A Clockwork Orange with the crazed retro-futurism of movies like Barbarella and Danger: Diabolik!, blurring the lines between spy thrillers and Noh drama, S2 eats up consumer culture, sneers at conventional morality, and gives a deep wet kiss with tongue to romantic love.
