Season 30: Disrupting the Cycle

“Cycles make for familiar processes and helpful tools for growth. Cycles can also be harmful — destructive, even — and are perhaps best broken. There is a cycle of theatrical production, and while it would be easy to let that cycle become a bit of a hamster wheel — to do it all the same — not all stories, not all artists, and not all times call for the same processes.
I am thrilled to bring you two plays in our 30th year that dig into cycles and stepping off that hamster wheel in very different ways. Each of them interrogates what it means to survive and what we need to thrive. Through the epic journey of Is God Is and the hilarious and heartbreaking every-day of The Malignant Ampersands, we explore the breaking of cycles to reclaim both the narrative and the best of what lies ahead.
In the spirit of breaking cycles, we are very excited to make time for experimentation and incubation; time dedicated to joyful coming-together, risk taking, and the cultivation of new collaborations. There is great desire to examine artistic process, and I am thrilled to invite our patrons into the process earlier with opportunities to attend readings, open rehearsals, experimental performances, and conversations this winter.”
