Dance Performance | Tere O’Connor Dance


This is a work-in-progress showing of a dance created on and with four emerging dance makers. O’Connor has had a mentoring relationship with each of these artists. This dance is the first in a series of three distinct works to be created over the next two years, each with a different cast and conceptual concern. In 2013, the works will be merged together to create a fourth dance.

Concert | Rock: Dan Deacon / John Maus / Roomrunner


Baltimore-based musician Dan Deacon is well known for his live shows with frenzied audiences feeding off looping music. His songs are intense and epic and at the same time down to earth and welcoming. Minnesota native John Maus taps into gothic ‘80s synth-pop sounds. Maus utilizes synthesizers, tensely strung bass lines and chasing drum machines as the backdrop for his deeply resonant reverb-drenched vocals. Baltimore’s Roomrunner performs “bunge rock, avant chunch, grunge” music replete with fuzzy, noisy odes to the 90s. The band’s two EPs released this past year, are making Nirvana fans very happy.

City Walk | The Saints Tour


The Saints Tour is a journey through the city that traces the emergences and residue of saints in your small corner of the world. It has been scientifically documented that a disproportionate number of Saints are born in this very city - they emerge in various ways: sometimes they burst from a human body like a butterfly from a bark cocoon, sometimes they crawl out from under someone’s old, used up skin, sometimes this process takes a hundred years, sometimes it takes a second. By taking The Saints Tour, you significantly raise your chances of witnessing this singular event. The final stop of the tour includes a meal to be shared by all participants as thanks for your witness of this sacred event.

Theater | Outdoor Presentation of Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor


The play is presented in a working parking lot, so you can drive there but you should expect to pay the Muni-meter. The show is offered while the lot is in use. The action sometimes happens around a parked car which drives away during a performance. At such times, the players stop and the audience moves its chairs, pausing the performance the same way a show would stop for rain uptown in Central Park. It's all part of the fun. Seats are available on a first come first serve basis, with audience members often arriving as early as 7:00 PM to secure a place. You are encouraged and welcome to bring your own chair. Once seats are gone, blankets are spread out.

Performance | Comedy: Meatloaf Might Eat Himself


From the people who brought you Chad Kroeger Kills Himself are bringing it again. This time around: Meatloaf Might Eat Himself. Will Meatloaf commit the gluttonous sin and eat himself? Or will he sleep on it? That’s up to you! Once again you, the audience, decide who plays Meatloaf. Throughout the show, you will also decide when we belt out into an improvised Meatloaf song! So come on out for this fully improvised suicide saga where you play the biggest role of all! Because we will do anything for laughs, but we won’t do that. Performed by: Gary DeNoia, Erick Hellwig, JJ Jones, and Beth White.
