OPENING NIGHT THIS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3

A poor southern family, caught up in the addiction of the opioid crisis and the collapse of their American Dream, journey through a Tibetan bardo seeking clues to understand their lives. This important piece, written in verse, will employ live music, shadow play techniques, projections, puppetry, and a wickedly hilarious cast of talented unflinching artists. Yet another provocative evening of risk-taking theater in the unique Ochre House style.
