Saturday, November 2, 2024 • 2PM & 7:30PM

Humonculus
Choreographers: Angela Smith and Peter Pattengill
Run-time (approximate): 25 minutes

In Humonculus we ritually construct a giant cyborgian human, spending time with each of the parts and honoring the process of re-labeling, re-naming, and re-arranging them. Magic and mysticism color how we think about bodies, identity, and dance while also offering a framework for centering the unknown (queer). Through the construction of our very own “humonculus,” we examine community, reciprocity, ritual, trust, safety and the euphoria of queer expression.

We Are Human
Choreographer: Eliana Kindred
Run-time (approximate): 10 minutes

We Are Human is a queer celebration. It shows the journey of self discovery and becoming confident in your queer identity. This dance embodies queer pride and affirms that we are human.

The world’s longest-running play! After a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate. This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time.

Tickets: $11.50. For more information click here.
