Death, it happens: A girl's guide to death

Synopsis:
4 different women lost 4 different fathers. Hear their true, diverse, moving and sometimes funny stories. Learn what happened, what they did to cope (or not cope) and what to wear to a funeral. Death, it happens: a girl's guide to death will do for death what the Vagina Monologues did for vaginas. Death finds us all but we are often caught unprepared. So why not talk about it, share the heartache and the ways to survive? We will lift the black veil off the taboo subject of death and things will never be the same.

I'm Not Sure I Like the Way You Licked Me

Synopsis:
This is a new solo show written and performed by Bricken Sparacino. Expect humor, honesty, and a little rock and roll. This new solo show focuses on the small meannesses of life.

Sisters Grimm: Fables for the Stage

Synopsis:
Fractured fairy tales ABOUT life on the wicked stage! Sisters Grimm: Fables of the Stage includes two plays both written as part of the 24 Hour Play Fun produced by aWe Creative Group. Ms. Sparacino always thought they would be great together, the challenge, they were too short. So the plays expanded, Ms. Witting agreed they should go together and SG:FOTS was born. Both shorts are inspired by the world of the theater and children?s fables. We will poke fun at acting, children?s theater and relationships. A little secret to share: the second piece is inspired by Ms. Sparacino?s extensive work at the zoo.

Notes:
written by Bricken Sparacino and Amy E. Witting
