Performances and Events

Light & Shadow
Reclaiming Duality as Divine
Friday, August 3rd & Saturday, August 4th
8:00pm
TICKETS: $50/VIP, $30/General, $25/Early Bird
We invite you to join us, an all-female cast, for an evocative, immersive performance art experience infusing RITUAL, SACRED DANCE, SPOKEN WORD, VISUAL IMAGERY & VIDEO PROJECTION, and a LIVE SOUND BATH to bring to light the deeper more provocative realms of shadow that are emerging within ourselves and across the world right now.
We invite you to dive with us to the depths of our individual and collective shadows as we bring to light all aspects of ourselves so we may manifest our grandest visions and further the paradigm shift already set in motion on our planet. Through this guided experience, we will invoke a remembering of our true essence and authentic power as the ultimate creators of our experience.

The 98 Art Collective & The Flight Deck Presents:
98 In Process
Wednesday, August 8th
6:00pm - 9:00pm
Tickets: $5
PREVIEW: Friday, August 3rd; 5-7pm
An interdisciplinary pop-up gallery investigating the question: what does it look like to be in process, in this moment?
THE 98 ART COLLECTIVE
We are a diverse group of young artists from different walks of life, linked by the same origin point. Decades from now, this moment will have a label just like all the transformative cultural movements that came before us did. Our challenge is trying to define where we stand in time and space as we live through it.

Pippin
performed by The Big Open Space (TBOS)
Friday, August 10th & Saturday, August 11th
7:00pm
TICKETS: Cash-only at the door:
$20/adults or $10/youth
TBOS proudly presents a TheaterDance interpretation of Pippin, featuring classic choreography by Bob Fosse and infectious tunes by Stephen Schwartz.
As told by an imaginary troupe of actors led by the cunning and charming Leading Player, Pippin is the story of a young prince, heir to the throne, who is searching for his own “corner of the sky.” Pippin returns from university certain that he will find a fulfilling purpose in life. As encouraged by the Leading Player, Pippin dabbles in bloody battle, licentious and lusty sexual entanglements, and saavy political maneuvers, only to discover that true happiness is more complicated than he thought. Pippin is both a humorous allegory about growing up and a dark tale of the danger of false appearances and empty promises.
