The Acoustic Kinetic Collective invites you to cozy into your seat and relax your sensory assumptions as we push time like a Slinky, stretch sound into matter. Musicians, dancers, choreographers and composers grapple together: What happens when you stretch breath and body beyond their natural limits? How do relationships change as we expand the minute detail of each moment? Who is the mover? Who is moved? How far can human physical time-keeping take us, and where does it break down? The Collective approaches these questions with movement, emotion, instruments, birdsong, jumpropes and more!

From the performer of “Pentecostal Wisconsin,” last year’s sell out Rogue hit, comes “Ryan Paulson: I’m Uncomfortable.” Born Pentecostal in Wisconsin, Ryan tells the hilarious story of the very uncomfortable life he found himself living once he moved to New York City. Part stand-up, part storytelling, part musical theatre, it features stories such as, “How I Practiced Self-Love for My Convictions” and songs like “There’s No Condom for the

Heart.”

“Cara Yeates is a revelation from the beginning to the end!” – CBC.

Veteran performer Cara Yeates is Madeleine Cross, barely eighteen, full of bravado, so determined to ditch her hometown she signs up for “Teenage Jesus Girls Camp” in Honduras. But there is inevitable trouble in Paradise. Pining for her absentee Cowboy and wary of the Teenage Jesus Fanclub, her desire for escape smolders. A fiery getaway is unavoidable. Playwright Leah Bailly’s Some Reckless Abandon is a one-tour de force, recalling first departures and teen-love, taking  audiences deep into missionary culture.

From the creator of Rogue hits JESUS IN MONTANA and AMERICAN SQUATTER comes a new solo, multi-media comedy. Writer/performer Barry Smith began life as a baby, and shortly afterwards started documenting every bizarre and tiresome detail of his existence with the zeal of a professional archivist. This early passion for recording his life history soon morphed into an obsession bordering on total insanity. This disturbingly funny multi-media comedy is Barry’s attempt to come clean about the mountains of junk he’s gathered and finally answer the perennial

question - “Who saves this stuff?”
