Actress

Synopsis:
Why are you lying to me? Why are you lying to me? Why are you lying to me? Why are you lying to me? Why are you lying to me? Why are you lying to me? Why are you lying to me? Why are you lying to me? Why are you lying to me? Why are you lying to me? Why are you lying to me? Actress is a new show about language and voice and slips of the tongue - a reckless, noisy, lovesick plunge into the messy heart of how we speak, and why.

As the Flames Rose we Danced to the Sirens, the Sirens

Karaoke

Synopsis:
Catatonically deadpan, gratuitously vapid and gleefully strung out, Karaoke is a performance about love and rockets for two performers and an autocue. Playing out as an actual karaoke, the text and action read off of a screen and projected up for all the audience to see, the show is an exercise in manic anti-theatricality that's either brazenly cynical or pathetically honest depending on how you want to look at it. There will be an awkward kind of chemistry. A narcotic kind of grace. And when the chorus kicks in we can all sing along with it. . .

Notes:
Karaoke is the middle part of Lost in the Funhouse, a loosely connected trilogy of performances about pleasure and boredom in this the adolescent decade of the 21st
