Nomadic cult-rock performer Beth Prosser defied a death hit by lightning at age eighteen, leaving her with copious musical talent and a worsening neurological condition. Ten years later she's crossing the country on a non-stop tour she calls the Transient Luminous Event. But when a mysterious weather pattern strands her in her hometown, electrical sotrms ensue:inside and outside the human brain. Neuroscience that rocks!Based on a true story.

Vaclav needs a pig for a party with his dissident friends. An american journalist arrives for an interview. The villagers have a pig to sell, but where is it? And why is everyone singing The Batered Bride? Food, drink, song, video, politics and celebration collide in the English language premiere of this theatrical-musical-technological-gastronomic extravaganza. Come hungry. Feast on pulled pork. Czech beer and live music.

A fractious New York crime family enlists six potential killers, pitting them against each other across a traffic jam of alternative realities. Filled with nagging consciences, dreams of murder, car shoptalk and 80s pop culture, this rewing-engine riff off Shakespeare's Richard III (Act I, Scene V only!) disassembles the origins of desire and murder in a fatal pileup of tragicomic proportions.

Fears of economic collapse. Militia leaders living in storm-ravaged wastelands. Infiltrated utopias. Augmented reality games. This appropriated mash-up of pre/post apocalyptic genres wonders aloud: Why does "end-of-days" paranoia permeate our culture, and what makes the idea of Armageddon so damn attractive? Desconstructed fear and fanaticism leads to an appropriately denouement. (Or not.)

"The little engine that could!"

An Iliad for modern Greece, in the lyric voice of a woman named Three Graces. In a swell of failed rebellion, forbidden lust, west and east, two blood brothers wrestle like devils int he night. A Cretan wife keens in lament, a trickster spins like a dervish in an ominous cucumber wind, and a henna girl refuses to dance. An operatic panorama inspired by Greek blues and Cretan rebel songs from the tables of a timeless tavern.

A chance encounter between three Americans in a Czech pub ignites this hybrid theatrical event-a collision of video, rock music, and audience participation (including copious amounts of cake and champagne). Provocatively examines the tension between polyamorous and monogamous relationships, posing that perennial question: what is the most authentic way to love in our progressively shifting culture?
