In the summer of 2020 we made the decision to enter a “hibernation” mode, cutting all expenditure to an absolute bare minimum… action we needed to take to survive as long as possible. Though we had to postpone production plans, programming, and development, we did it with an eye towards the future. SO, we are so pleased to announce…
We will be producing "The Care and Feeding of Adults" in the near future! Our early work on the play looked at what happens to the body and brain as it ages, the processes leading up to death, and issues of memory, dignity, and fear that confront the aging and elderly. But as those subjects began to take on much larger presence and significance in our own personal lives, what we ended up wanting most was comfort. The play does incorporate those early explorations. But along the way it became a celebration of the mysterious in-between-moments of life, culminating in a beautiful mini-opera of memories, composed by the incomparable Todd Almond. It’s a play that we love, that now resonates in new ways, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
