Angela Delfini Explains It All For You: A ¾-Woman Show
Created by Angela Delfini & John Towsen
Straight from Barcelona, Toronto, and La Spezia, meet Italy's greatest export, personality pioneer Dr. Angela Delfini, and her nervous but brave subject, Estrella. Join them on a clownesque five-step recovery program full of unique challenges and you-can't-go-home-again transformations.
Trapped
Performed, created and directed by Inda Pereda.
Inda Pereda's hilarious one-man show uses physical comedy, sound and mime to build a wild, imaginary dreamscape bound up in exciting, ridiculous and grotesque situations -*ahem* emergency operations, unusual body musicals, the happy birth of mutant beings - and populated by a host of crazy universal characters - *err* annoyed Japanese samurais and happy cows.
Yay, America!
Directed by Elizabeth Baron
Performed by Kaitlin Kaufman
When the country feels like it's going to shit, politicians are corrupt out of their butts and everything on our newsfeed makes us feel nauseous and/or constipated, it's time we turn to poets like Penelope for answers. Penelope is a naive, vibrant, affable, toe-tapping clown who loves her country despite it all.
