Better Not Touch That
In this playfully dark, absurd folktale a young woman sets out to construct her identity. She journeys from crippling self-repression to openness; from childhood to adulthood; from her family home to a roosting place; out of her old skin into her new form. Better Not Touch That unfolds through text, live folk music, imagery, anecdotes, poetry, expressive gesture, animalistic embodiments, and a wide variety of objects. Using hints of Appalachian culture as a parallel for isolation and a deep-seated fear of change, this intimate theater piece is a picking apart, an excruciating examination of how to shed what stunts us from freedom.
Created and directed by Cara Scarmack and featuring Jane Elliot, Priscilla Holbrook, Andy Schneeflock, and Sonja Sweeney with original music from composer Craig Judelman of The Dustbusters; Produced by Carolyn Sesbeau of Lone Wolf Tribe; Costume design Laura Bacon; Dramaturgy Robert Colpitts; Properties design Claire Karoff; Associate Producer Julianna Slaten; Marketing Director Jennifer Taylor of the Summer Play Festival; Lighting design Chris Weston.
