Read about Open AIR in the Shepherd Express!
Created by Prism Youth Theater Company
Directed by Leo Madson
Part of World Premiere Wisconsin
Come to the park and join us in play as we explore what it means to be a little person in a big world. Our characters will shift between modes of abstraction as they attempt to answer questions like "Why not?", "What if?", and "What else?" Throughout the story, we uncover some of the invisible strings that connect us to the planet's greater powers and begin to understand the feeling of helplessness that accompanies such scale.
This is a devised piece created in the park, by us. This is the story we want to share with you, and we're so excited.
The Hidden Strings was part of World Premiere Wisconsin, a statewide festival celebrating new plays and musicals running March 1 – June 30, 2023, presented by the Ten Chimneys Foundation. To learn more visit www.worldpremierewisconsin.com.
