American Theatre Magazine called the show an "invigorating and innovative
Western interpretation of  . . . this Eastern text."

The Cleveland Plain Dealer has hailed it as a  "work of art . . a
surrealistic chamber of horrors, humor and hope."

A compassionate and humorous tale of a Western woman's struggle with life
and death, Blue Sky Transmission is an ecstatic visual and choral epic for
the 21st century.
In BLUE SKY TRANSMISSION, Allison-an overwrought lawyer and mother who dies
suddenly - comes face to face with her life, past and future, as a spiritual
guide takes her through the in-between world that Buddhists believe connect
death and rebirth. BLUE SKY TRANSMISSION is based on The Tibetan Book of the
Dead, one of the world's most revered books, which is traditionally read at
the time of one's death. BLUE SKY TRANSMISSION is a Western exploration of
this time honored Eastern text.
Directed by Raymond Bobgan, the production has an original accapello musical
score by Halim El-Dabh, who was a favorite composer of Martha Graham and
created scores for a number of her ballets, including "Clytemnestra."
The production features Lisa Black, Tracy Broyles, Kishiko Hasegawa, Holly
Holsinger, Brett Keyser, Amy Kristina, Karin Randoja, Sophia Skiles, Rebecca
Spencer and Chi-wang Yang.
This production is made possible by generous support from the Pew Charitable
Trusts, Theatre Communications Group, The Rockefeller MAP Fund, the National
Endowment for the Arts, The Kulas Foundation and The George Gund Foundation.
