January 17 - 19 (Double Bill)

Like a Doberman on a Quarter Pounder
Written and Performed by Christine Howey
Directed by Scott Plate

The evening begins with poems, monologues and dialogues all touching on the human condition. Join Howey as she wonders what Beowulf had for breakfast, who decided to make the "k" silent at the start of a word when the letter "n" immediately follows and how it feels to be in forbidden love.

Social commentary, however, turns to the personal when Howey shares her journey from Richard to Christine. Beginning in 1950 as a boy wanting to be a girl and concluding in adulthood, the piece explores the pain, confusion and joy of being a gender that does not match one's body.

Free Radical and the Late Night Sketchbook:
Part 2: The Wedding
Conceived and Directed by Pandora Robertson
Created by Ensemble

Free Radical and The Late Night Sketchbook follows a woman's journey that begins with a game-changing crisis, the horror of which repels, intoxicates and consumes her. This woman's journey forces her to come face to face with multiple philosophical questions exploring confession, identity and truth.

Robertson collaborates with an ensemble of actors using dialogue and movement to consider "What happens when the world passes you by?" Are we remembered by what we confess or by the fanciful narratives we create? What is the boundary between what we think is the truth and what we want the truth to be?

Join us this Friday, January 18 to celebrate the kick off of Big Box 2013! There will be free food and drinks following the performance.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:00pm in the James Levin Theatre (please note that the James Levin Theatre is not handicap accessible)

Tickets: General Admission $15 | Students and Seniors $13 | $10 Thursdays
