AUDITIONS: February 10

Ten years after the world flooded and people fled to the boats, the desperation to find land has become lethal but the satellites still see nothing but water. Guarded by the military, one boat holds special cargo: seeds to plant when land is found, birds to find the land, and a child called Mud. A mythical allegory about finding hope in a world turned unrecognizable.

In present-day Omaha, a young woman juggles tragedy, personal demons, and her dysfunctional family, while working in a seedy strip club to help cover costs associated with her brother’s terminal illness.

PERFORMANCE: February 20
|
Three times a day, every day, a group of young women have the opportunity to die for their country. They are Adolph Hitler's food tasters. And what do girls discuss as they wait to see if they will live through another meal? Like many other girls throughout time, they gossip and dream, they question and dance. They want to love, laugh, and above all, they want to survive.
