*The Play:*
After a life of sin, Cole the Jazz-man Barbarian feels dried up. He's sick
of the music, the fans, and the attention. Before leaving town, he makes
half-hearted attempts to make good on wrongdoings he’s done to others,
while meeting the one woman who might actually understand. Throughout this,
Cole wonders why his shoulder hurts and cicadas suddenly find him so
interesting…
Inspired by Cocopelli folklore and the early work and life of Gustav
Flaubert, Cocopelli explores an artist at war with himself, oblivious to
all the good his art has given others.
*Featuring actors:* Brian Pedaci, Emily Pucell, Bobby Williams, Geoffrey
Hoffman, Laurel Hoffman, Margi Herwald-Zitelli, and Jonathan Wilhelm.
