         Better Not Touch That         What Happened in Ohio

Better Not Touch That

Synopsis:
In this playfully dark, absurd folktale a young woman sets out to construct her identity. She journeys from crippling self-repression to openness; from childhood to adulthood; from her family home to a roosting place; out of her old skin into her new form. Better Not Touch That unfolds through text, live folk music, imagery, anecdotes, poetry, expressive gesture, animalistic embodiments, and a wide variety of objects. Using hints of Appalachian culture as a parallel for isolation and a deep-seated fear of change, this intimate theater piece is a picking apart, an excruciating examination of how to shed what stunts us from freedom

What Happened in Ohio

Synopsis:
Set in 1950's rural America, the play is a fierce telling of four siblings whose lives are caught dead in their tracks by a fatal automobile accident. Staged with wild imagination, the show is a gutsy meditation on loss and a look into how we pass things on. In What Happened in Ohio, the Roadsters have created their world through the use of old-timey poetic text, a meticulous physical landscape, and joyously transcendent original music. the intersecting of these elements creates an alive, immediate, and intimate performance experience. the story is here and now, and way back then, too.
