SETTINGS
“Untouchable”: This show doesn't fit anywhere, and it also fits everywhere.
“Pop Pop Killed Hitler”: On my porch at 8 Virginia Drive, Missoula, MT.
“Screamin’ from the Zoo (a Neo-Spiritual)”: Shares multiple pieces of the whole on a mind-bending road in an effort to connect, reflect, and inspire those who witness and listen. In a deep exploration of SoulWork, a new Neo-Spiritual has been born, and it takes place here, now.
~ This production is performed without an intermission. ~
DIRECTOR’S NOTE
These pieces draw heavily from the actors’ own experiences to ask, “What does it mean to be touchable, to remember, or to be free?” Although each short play depicts a different life experience, together they challenge us to consider our own stories, to reach out to our loved ones, and to take nothing for granted.
