The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm are turned on their heads in this fast-paced, rollicking ride as two narrators and several actors attempt to combine all 209 stories ranging from classics like Snow White, Cinderella, and Hansel and Gretel to more bizarre, obscure stories like The Devil’s Grandmother and The Girl Without Hands. A wild, free-form comedy with lots of audience participation and madcap fun.

Please come prepared for cold readings, improvisation and movement exercises

Performance Dates: Friday and Saturday nights @ 8 p.m. June 10 – 25, 2016

Location: Joe’s Movement Emporium

Yoko K. is an electronic musician, composer, and producer, a two-time winner of Wammie’s “Electronica Artist,” and a past artist-in-residence at Strathmore (2011-2012). Yoko’s ensemble will perform live electronic music and video art to create an immersive multimedia experience – a space conducive for participants to imagine something out of the ordinary. Her aim for the NextLOOK residency is to examine how post-apocalyptic representations of the future shape our sense of the present, and to playfully explore an alternative: “What would the most optimistic future look like?” Audience members will be invited to participate in the showing as visitors from the fictional 22nd century. Her ensemble will also engage the audience through post-performance discussion, as well as an online forum to understand the non-immediate impact of the work.

Free, or pay what you want.

Don’t miss “The Importance of Being Earnest” on Friday & Saturday March 18th & 19th at 7:30 pm and Sunday, March 20th at 3:00 pm at the BMHS Fine Arts Theater.

The Importance of Being Earnest is the most famous Comedy of Manners, driven by mistaken identity and witty dialogue. Two British bachelors each assume the name “Ernest” in order to meet the demands of the ladies they love, insisting that they will only marry a man with the confidence-inspiring name of “Ernest.” Chaos erupts as the truth is revealed and all learn the value of being truly earnest. Playwright Oscar Wilde aptly subtitled his play, “A Trivial Comedy for Serious people.”

All Tickets are $10.00 and are available here.
