Ten Tiny Dances® presents edgy new work as dancers face the challenge of performing on a stage that is 4 feet x 4 feet x 1.5 feet high. Director Mishele Mennett explains the “less is more” principle brings an intense focus to the contained dances. Originally created in Portland, Oregon, in 2002, by Mike Barber, Ten Tiny Dances® continues to be produced by Mr. Barber, and others, with permission. Ballet, modern, contact improv, tap, jazz, and traditional Hawaiian dancers (along with an OSU robot) will all express the theme – POETRY – through their individual dance forms. The companion Tiny Art Show, coordinated by AliceAnn Eberman, will sell miniature artwork before the show. We invite you to share in this community multi-art event, all to benefit the Majestic Theatre.
Truman Capote’s brilliant, crisp writing, his colorful personality, and his craving for attention peaked in his drive to associate with the heights and riches of the social elite. He was allowed to gaze behind their masks. They gave him what he craved—if not love, at least a surrogate: their fascinated draw to his charisma. All the while, he was gathering material for his long-promised and self-proclaimed masterpiece, Answered Prayers. In TRU, Capote grapples with the self-inflicted loss of some of his super rich friends that he’d gutted through a published excerpt from Answered Prayers. And, it has the mirror effect of baring himself in much the same way as he had revealed them.
Join us for a fun, zesty deep-dive into that most enigmatic of super-star composers, Mozart. Centered around his magnificent Quintet (played by the Majestic String Quartet and guest clarinetist Dante Hoge), we will separate myth from fact, weave stories between musical selections, and revel in the glorious, time-tested genius of that zany, miraculous person a Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
In The Hatmaker's Wife, a young woman moves in with her boyfriend expecting domestic bliss, but instead has trouble getting comfortable. Her strange new home seems determined to help out – and soon the walls are talking. They reveal the magical tale of an old hatmaker and his long-suffering wife who runs away with his favorite hat. This sweet and surreal folktale bends time and space to redefine the idea of family, home, and true-love itself.
An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun!
Don't miss our fun VIP Meat and Greet event on opening night, where you can indulge in delicious meat pies and wine.
