ABOUT THE SHOWS

be Like BONE
Book, Music, & Lyrics & Music Directed by Storm Thomas
Directed by nicHi douglas
Music Supervision by Rose Van Dyne

be Like BONE is a neo-expressionist dissertation on early Black musical theater history. Told through eclectic rhythm, music and poetry, this musical details the lives of almost forgotten figures while pushing the boundaries of what musical theater can be. be Like BONE is a haunting work of gestural dance theater and an abstract look into our past.

See/Unsee
Book, Music, & Lyrics by Lila Blue
Directed & Developed by Jillian Jetton
Dramaturgy & Additional Book by Ren Dara Santiago
Music Direction & Additional Orchestrations by Noga Cabo

Lila Blue and their ten-piece band conjure a grief ritual from the work and imagined life of artist Hilma af Klint. Surfacing where Blue’s life overlaps with that of the pioneering painter and mystic – in queerness, in love, and in loss – SEE/UNSEE invites you (and any ghosts who might tag along) into a ferocious song cycle séance.
