Sagittarius Ponderosa
By MJ Kaufman
Directed by Blake Harris
- WHEN: 16-18, 23-25, 30, and July 1-2, 2023
- WHERE: UTC Fine Arts Center
- ABOUT: “A charming story that finds Archer at the center of multiple transitions in his life—one of the most immediate transitions being a move back home to take care of an ailing parent. He finds comfort and adventure under the branches of the oldest Ponderosa Pine, a place where he meets a stranger who knows all about the forest and the pain of losing endangered things. As Archer navigates the changes in his life, he discovers the power and legacies a name can contain."
LEAR
By Young Jean Lee
Directed by Blake Harris
- WHEN: August 1-3, 11-13, and 18-20, 2023*
- WHERE: UTC Fine Arts Center
- ABOUT: “A wild collision of Shakespeare, the playwright’s inner struggles of facing the mortality of her father, and… Sesame Street. Equal parts daring and absurd, this piece shifts the focus away from the aging King Lear and directly to the adult children who cause and ignore the suffering of their father. One moment hilarious, the next tragic, LEAR explores a wild gamut of emotions in a performance unlike anything local audiences have seen before."
