THE SORCERY AISLE

A wizard and two witches walk into a big box store. What happens next is a comedic bubbling concoction of the everyday relatable and mythical enchantment with just a dash of NYC.

THE YELLOW WALLPAPER

The Yellow Wallpaper is a short story written in 1892, which follows a character tortured by the images of woman lurking behind her walls. In this physical theater adaptation, the wallpaper comes to life as a haunting dancer drawing the main character into madness–or perhaps saving her from it. Choreographed by Maren Westgard, the piece utilizes acting, dance, poetry, and music to revive this eerie short story for the 21st century.
