Only Ugly Guys
Depravity and enlightenment, protection and liberation, love bombing / situationships / ghosting / et al – “Only Ugly Guys” delivers a stark reflection on how affection manifests in a non-committal, algorithm-fueled culture. Told through four short stories from the unique, unreliable perspective of each character, “Only Ugly Guys” experiments with what theater can be, using modern romance as its medium.
Kiss on Wood
Our season opener is a homecoming concert by violist Rachel Yonan. Her album
Kiss on Wood is a brilliant yet mature program that reflects on the metaphor of light
and darkness in works by Sir James MacMillan and Robert Schumann. Kwan Yi, a
musical friend of over twenty years, joins her at the piano. Also in the program is
Franz Schubert’s “Arpeggione” Sonata.
