NIGHT SWEATS
Restless?
We are, too. Join us on a mixed-media-on-your-feet theatrical voyage through an acid-laced dreamscape complete with puppet confidants, murderous vultures, swamp things, and all the terrors that keep us up while the whole world is sound asleep. We get it . . .
Night Sweats follows 17-year-old, Gordon on the hunt for his missing psychiatrist-prescribed beloved puppet, Bluebarb. As Gordon searches for what has been his only friend and safety blanket he must fight against a long-time fear that has plagued Gordon for years: a 7-foot-tall anthropomorphic bird character from the popular children's show, Poppyseed Place.
We are extremely lucky to have assembled a talented team of playwrights, musicians, actors, dancers, and puppeteers, to help us in creating the nightmarish world of Gordon's subconscious, which will take the audience on a journey through the middle of a dark sea, a Technicolor tripped-out children's show, and the wooded swamps of Florida. In the end, Night Sweats is about the irrational fears that don't just haunt our hero, but us as well.
