Performed entirely to the music of Tom Waits, Baggage (and The Seven Deadly Sins) is an unusual and curious dance experience performed in the round, with the audience encompassing the dance. Based on the idea that the seven mortal sins destroy a life of grace, each dancer is bound to a suitcase which represents their own personal sin. Baggage (and The Seven Deadly Sins) develops into a whirlwind of chaos as the dancers struggle to manage and cope with one another while keeping their emotional baggage undisclosed.
(*Some material not suitable for children under 13)

MISCELLANEOUS
When you attend Baggage, you will notice a construction gate up around the building. There is renovation work happening elsewhere on the property, and the gate provides safety for passersby as well as for us and our patrons, for the duration of the construction (completion slated for February 2016). For each performance, the construction gate will be propped open, and the pathway to our black-gated exterior staircase leading down to the front door (lit up with blue/purple lights- hard to miss!) will be clear.
