The World is On Fire, but Here is A Dance choreographed by Maggie Laszewski

This physical theater performance is an episodic exploration that mirrors the “rule of three” in comedy, a practice in repetition that creates an element of surprise. Staged as a low-budget comedy club experience, this work explores how subtle shifts of meaning reverberate and create chaos in a system of repeated words and actions.

Chiffon written by Ayanna Hill

Chiffon is a play about a young girl fighting against the expectations of femininity during the drastic shift in self-image that comes during early adolescence. She fights against the molds that she feels pressured to fit into and struggles with her ability to embrace her femininity and the body she was born into.

In Louisa May Alcott’s beloved book “Little Women,” writer Jo March and her sisters Meg, Beth and Amy represent the experiences of women and families during the Civil War. Alcott’s timeless coming-of-age story debuted as a musical on Broadway in 2005, bringing these memorable characters to life through song and movement. The musical immerses audiences in the adventures of the March sisters, through love, hope and self-discovery.

“It’s hard not to love the March girls of Concord, MA, so deeply etched are Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy on the cultural and emotional landscape that they resurface from generation to generation like cherished friends.”—David Rooney, Variety
