An American Chameleon
Grey Box Theatre | 4PM | Contains Nudity
An autobiographical multimedia dance-theater experience that parallels the dysfunction of American History with the growing pains of an up-bringing plagued by schizophrenia. In an unusual fusion of over-the-top theatricality and total earnestness, characters construct equally with words and action, cohering in a world unique to itself.
Program C
KST | 7PM | Contain Nudity
From Seattle to New York to our very own Pittsburgh, choreographers bring solos, ensembles, and everything in between to explore new areas of work. Join us for a showcase of work by Niki Cousineau (PHL), Nicole Lobuzzetta (SEA), Attack Theatre (PGH), August Wilson Center Dance Ensemble (PGH), and Troy Ogilvie (NYC).
