McEvoy FEATURING: Anne McEvoy and Emily Kuntz DIRECTOR: Jamie Koeth PRODUCER: Nicole Coury PROJECTIONS: Patrick Ciamacco SOUND DESIGN: Lisa Wiley Thurs., July 9th, 5:30pm & Sat., July 11t:h: 1:30pm and 6:45pm (ASL interpreted) 5th floor, Middough Bldg. 1901 E. 13th Cleveland, Allen Rehearsal Hall, rm. 505 This once-revered pioneer of modern dance stands alone in her abandoned studio, confronting the agonizing stillness where movement once thrived. Confronted with unexpected realities, Martha Graham grapples with the triple threat of age, illness, and liquor…all of which are eroding her trail-blazing career and legacy. Over many ounces of Smirnoff and a chaser or two of Nietzsche, she questions her worth beyond the spotlight. This brief, cautionary tale – with generous amounts of humor and fiction – asks audiences to consider the frail, fickle lines between our dreams, passions and reality. CONTENT ADVISORY: Alcohol Use, strong language, suicide/self-harm mentioned 40 minutes RECOMMENDED 18+ Tickets at: https://www.borderlightcle.org/2026-show/blessed-unrest-a-fantasia-on-martha...
