Everything Under the Moon
Feb 18-23

Shary Boyle and Christine Fellows

Two of Canada’s most acclaimed artists create a live music projection experience that tells the absurd and heroic adventure of two small, winged creatures on an urgent journey to save themselves.

Feb 28th, March 1-3

Multi-award winning British choreographer, Wayne McGregor, directs ten dancers in an unparalleled startling spectacle. Hypnotic, haunting and, above all, inspiring.

We could go on, but this quote from The Times is likely a better sell, “If any artist has defined the decade, it’s Wayne McGregor.” Wow. Now you gotta see it.

The Wooster Group’s Version of Tennessee Williams’ Vieux Carre
March 28 – 31

One of Williams’ last, elegiac plays is boldly re-imagined by the most experimental theatre company of the past 30 years. This radical interpretation seethes with sexual creativity. Experience Williams and New Orleans on a totally different level.
