The American Revolution
January 28 & 29, 2025 at 10 a.m.
Suggested Grade Levels: 4-12 grade
Length: 50 minutes
History in 50 minutes—seven actors, two feet off the ground, share 21 square feet of space and recreate the entire American fight for independence from Lexington to Yorktown. Using only the actors’ bodies, voices and (pantomimed) cannons, the show evokes an epic time period in American history. Combining tongue-in-cheek humor with a dash of derring-do, the American Revolution displays the company’s rowdy brand of bare-boned and imaginative physical theater.

Young Heroes of Conscience
Something Happened In Our Town
March 3, 2025 at 10 a.m.
Suggested Grade Levels: 4-8
Length: 65 minutes
Friendships challenged, a world changed, and two young people trying to make sense of it together. Neighbors Josh and Emma are best friends. But something has happened in their town. When a Black man is killed by a police officer, Emma and Josh have questions—real questions that deserve real answers. With so much going on, the two don’t know how to keep their friendship from being pulled apart. Layered with compassion and humor, this play invites you into the living rooms of these two families (one Black and one White) as they wrestle with how to help their children make sense of what happened. Playwright Cheryl D. West invites you to walk alongside Josh and Emma as they confront uncertainty within their own town and seek to plant the seeds of change in their community.
Study Guide Coming in Fall 2024.
