Variety Show the Musical Play by Theresa Columbus
May 12 - 14
This theater piece consisting of short plays, performance art, and songs was created by Theresa Columbus and six performers: Izaak Collins, Cliff Doby, Ruby Fulton, Myles Hamilton, Caitlin Weaver, and Jacob Zabawa. Their process challenges the traditional roles of writer/director and actors. The play creates the effect of a surreal vaudevillian variety show, even though several narrative and formal through-lines connect the “variety” of pieces. Different theatrical forms bump up against and expand each other, splashing into the poetry of everyday conversation.
Proceeds benefit the TU Foundation.
May contain material recommended for mature audiences.
