<br>
<b><span style='color:#244061'>Thursday, November 5</span></b><br>
<b><i>History of Life, </i></b>Written by Becky Cummings, Directed by Jaclyn
Villano<br>
</span><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
</span></i><i><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>History of Life</span></i><span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> follows Sybil, an adopted
Evolutionary Biologist, on her quest into the American southwest to meet
members of her birth family. It begins in Lake Havasu City, AZ where the London
Bridge crosses a man-made lake. Sybil seeks the genetic origins of her life but
discovers that identity is often woven into a chaotic multi-layered story, not
always in our control. Sybil has revelations about Wal-mart, Elvis Presley,
Cowboys and Indians and fossilized Tyrannosaurus Rex tracks. Science versus
religion and nature verses nurture both come to a head at the Four Corners
Monument, where Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona come together in a
point. Literally.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
<b><span style='color:#244061'>Sunday, November 8 (Double Bill)</span></b><br>
<b><i>Projecting </i></b>by Rachel Baird, Directed by Jaime Bouvier, Featuring
Faye Hargate<br>
<br>
Photographs are a way of telling stories, of tracking and keeping human
histories on an intensely personal level. They are often the only real
proof that a life has happened. Projection is a method of sharing these
images; it is also a method of separating the self from the self, of hiding
personal realities safely away in plain sight. <i>Projecting</i> is the
story of one woman through photographs.<br>
<br>
<b><i>You Can See the World from Cleveland</i></b>, Written by and featuring
Aaron Calafato<br>
<i><br>
You Can See the World from Cleveland</i> is a solo performance and a vibrant tapestry
of stories and experiences. Aaron Calafato grew up in Northeast Ohio and finds
that it has shaped him more than he thinks. From the immigrant experience of
his family to his first memory of the Cleveland Browns, to his adolescent
adventures and into the passionate journey of a young actor in NYC, we see
struggle, love, humor, and hope through the eyes of an artist. <br>
<br>
<b><span style='color:#244061'>Thursday, November 12th (Double Bill)<br>
</span><i>Flock of Seagulls</i></b> by Stuart Hoffman, directed by Derek Koger,
Featuring Sean Galligan and Brian McNally.<br>
<br>
Two friends learn that they are characters trapped inside a play.
Finding the script, they begin discovering mistakes and arguing over what to
do. As the criticisms progress, the roommates must decide if these events are
intentional acts or genuine mistakes by the playwright. Meanwhile, a higher
force is at work attempting to make the decision for them and won’t take no for
an answer.</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Harris News"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Marla Williams <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Life’s
defining moments hit us in waves: Waves of fear and denial, of anger and
despair; waves of hope and promise. <i>Wave</i> follows Reese Thompson’s
journey to find courage, wisdom and love after a life-changing event.
This one-woman show incorporates ten distinct characters, each with an
indelible effect on Reese’s life. This performance features Marla Williams, a
Columbus theater veteran and a Theatre Daedalus Ensemble Member. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Although
<i>The Musicalling</i> is not yet in rehearsals, a group of stage technicians
find themselves faced with a surprisingly packed house. What was likely to be a
quiet evening of set construction and lighting design becomes the performance
of a lifetime as the new cast of <i>The Musicalling</i> finds themselves
center-stage, out of their element, and on the path to self-discovery. Written
by Ian Adler (Matt Greenfield) and arranged by Joe Barone, Featuring the
talents of LaJuan Foust, Amanda Clark, Shawn Michelle, Matt Goldman, Liz Huff
and Melissa DeLucchi.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

mother Margot obsessively prepares Julia Child’s 1960’s-era beef tongue recipe,
vanishes for hours, and starts speaking only French. Her two teenagers keep
their own secrets as they struggle in the shadow of parental expectations, and
no one is talking. Margot’s husband Tom, mother-in-law Beverly, and best
friend Jane try to slice and dice to the heart (or is it the tongue?) of the
matter – and dinner is served. Mother/Tongue serves up isolation,
communication, motherhood, food and love. Bon appétit! Featuring Jean
Colerider, Christopher Hisey, John-Paul Makowski, Kate Miller, Amy
Pawlukiewicz, Brian Pedaci and Kay Rommel <o:p></o:p></span></p>

their fear of the outside world, each attempt to overcome social paralysis in
their own way as they struggle with the meaning of life, language, and the
