Second Space: "Blank"

February 14-17, 21-23

THE PLAY YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE IS SEALED INSIDE AN ENVELOPE....
No rehearsals, no director, 7 performances - a different performer each night, each laying eyes on the script at that moment for the very first time....

In a joint effort between audience and performer, gaps in the script are filled in to reveal a story, made up on the spot, that celebrates the human imagination. As inventive as it is engaging, BLANK reverses the typical theater experience: A script riddled with blanks leaves the audience in charge of how the story will unfold. The concept might be simple but the result is nothing short of empowering and extraordinary as a random audience member sees his or her future determined by the imagination of others.

At the Table

November 8-10, 15-17 at 8pm; November 11 at 3pm

Six friends head out of the city on their annual retreat for the weekend. With no social media, no cell phones, no internet allowed, all this leaves them with one thing to do… look up from their screens and talk to each other. And when the liquor starts flowing and the tongues start to loosen, no conversation is uneventful and no topic is off-limits. At the Table is a comedy that begs the question: what happens when those with privilege are pushed to the periphery and a marginalized minority suddenly finds its voice amplified? Who is allowed at what discussion table, and who isn’t?
