Wizardry, magic, sword-fights, warrior knights and princesses, the forces of dark versus the forces of light, romance, and betrayal are all part of the Excalibur tapestry. This powerful retelling of King Arthur’s legend from the Sword and the Stone through the creation of the Knights of the Round Table through the downfall of Camelot will mesmerize you. If you like Harry Potter, you will like Excalibur!

Presented by the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center

Happenstance Theater is in residency at Joe’s Movement Emporium: February 6-10, 2017

Using spatial dynamics, movement and physical theatre, text, live sound, theatrical clown and improvisational play, Threshold explores moments of transition, from the simplicity of entering and exiting a space, to the profound transition from innocence to experience.

Happenstance Theater engages the audience by bringing curiosity and delight to the idea of crossing over into unknown spaces: the moving, meeting, leaping, partnering, parting, aging and dying that require us to cross the threshold.

Tickets: Pay what you wish, no tickets required.

My Life Has Been Like Water By Mark Costello

This multimedia project uses a live video loop that explores time as an architectural object; something to be controlled, built, expanded and repeated. Time as if it is poured like water: endless, flowing,emotional, momentous, pure.

untitled homage to my twenties in new york city By Kelly Colburn

A wild and nostalgic investigation of what it means to give up the thing you love most, this performance seeks to uncover what makes New York City exciting and enticing to the natives and the dreamers. Part documentary, part mockumentary, part dance, part theater, part film — this love letter explores the exhilaration, freedom, fear and regret of actively witnessing the death of your youth.

Tickets: Free, tickets required. Get tickets here. Tickets will be available to reserve starting at 12:00 Noon on Monday, January 23, 2017.
