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.

Wolf Pack presents A Christmas Carol at Joe’s Movement Emporium, Dec 15-18

Wolf Pack Theatre Company, Community Crisis Services Inc. and Joe’s Movement Emporium Proudly Present:
A Christmas Carol
by Charles Dickens
Original adaptation by William Leary

Friday, December 16th at 7 pm
Saturday, December 17th at 2 pm
Saturday, December 17th at 7 pm
Sunday, December 18th at 3 pm

Location: Joe’s Movement Emporium

“William Leary and the talented members of the Wolf Pack Theatre Company have taken one of the most well-known holiday stories, brought it into the present time by exploring contemporary social and political issues, and added familiar songs of the season to create a brilliant version of A Christmas Carol” – Paul M. Bessel and Barbara Braswell, DC Metro Theater Arts

Based on the Charles Dickens classic tale, this unique and moving musical theatre adaptation is like nothing you’ve seen in the hundreds of film, television or stage adaptations available. The poverty and indifference to human suffering is skillfully portrayed in this present day drama as Bob Cratchitt, young Tim and the rest of the Cratchitt family deal with the loss of their home and subsequent shelter stay due to Tim’s illness, low wages and the high cost of health care. While the story structure follows Dickens original work, there are plenty of creative twists in store and both young and old will be delighted by this beautiful and thrilling adaptation!

Starring 2015 DC Metro Theater Arts ‘Best Actor in a Leading Role’ Tim Jansen as Ebenezer Scrooge this is one production you will not want to miss!

Ebon Kojo: The Last Tribe
Friday, December 9, 2016 . 7PM
Presented by the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center

Location: Joe’s Movement Emporium

Afro House is in residency at Joe’s Movement Emporium: December 5-9, 2016

What if a man, struggling against being mechanical, could not accept his son as anything but a machine? Sent from a dying earth, General Ebon Kojo and Ra-7 have been ordered to “recolor” the distant and barren planet Beta-5. Upon their arrival to Beta-5, Ebon and Ra are confronted with unprecedented realities that transform them both.

In this one-man show, pianist and composer Scott Patterson uses acoustic piano, synth keyboards and sound design to weave together a story of space exploration, environmentalism, father-son relationships and social greed. Inspired by the music of Sun Ra and his film Space is the Place,Christina De Middel’s photobook Afronauts and Frances Bodomo’s film of the same name, Patterson imagines his own futuristic world, where sound and music bend the laws of physics and become instruments of creation and destruction.

A Theatrical Review of Jonathan Coulton
Thursday, November 17, 2016 . 7PM

Location: Joe’s Movement Emporium

Flying V is in residency at Joe’s Movement Emporium: November 14-18, 2016

The 2015 Helen Hayes Award winner for Outstanding Emerging Theatre Company, Flying V, presents this theatrical exploration of the music of cult singer-songwriter Jonathan Coulton. Coulton is known for his clever, engaging and humorous songs that capture slice-of-life moments in high-concept situations — from zombie co-workers to lonely sea monsters. Using dance, movement/physical theatre and new arrangements with a live band, Flying V is staging a collection of Coulton’s songs and exploring what it means to be human in an oversized world of possibility.
