YOU SEE ME
Created by Seth Berg & Kathleen MorganBack by popular demand, Kathleen and Seth will once again amuse and surprise each other with images they have been saving for this occasion. As long-time friends, they constantly text odd photos back and forth, but this year they have sequestered those images until they meet on stage for curtain call. Who found the coolest bathroom? How would you photograph the concept of time? What bad designs do you love? Where did you find the hidden Telluride?

Are you fit to become a baby? And how much control do we really have over our fates?
In Will You Be My Baby?, each audience member will become a contestant on the inaugural season of the BabyBachelorette and join the artist on her wild, weird, and often challenging journey through the world of fertility treatment for a chance to become her baby. Part live competition show, part traditional musical, Will You Be My Baby is a participatory experience that dives into the dreams we have for our lives and the often very different directions those lives can take. You’ll never hear the words “fertility cliff” the same again.
Seating extremely limited.

Hijinks on the high seas ensue when things go belly up on a private charter tour off the coast of Nantucket. Two not so secretly unhappy couples set sail with the aggressively unanchored crew and passions run high as they fight to survive their voyage without all soiling themselves with sea-sickness or Shrimp cocktail. Replete with an original ‘yacht rock’ score and a clambake of silly songs and scenes and written by TFF alums Sam Forman and local Sean Mahoney, this brand-new nautical musical comedy will rock your boat.

LAYERS OF BEING
March 7 & 8 @ 8-9pm
A Pay-What-You-Can, Ongoing Drop-In Experience
Directed & Choreographed by Kelsey Trottier
Lights & Installation by Kelli Fox
Live Music & Sound Engineering by Travis FisherDancers: Kelsey Trottier, Jula Ceiciuch & Madeline McNamara
Layers of Being is an immersive performance art installation that explores the complexity of existence through sound, light, video projections, mirrors, reflections, live music, and dance. The piece reveals the multifaceted layers of the human experience, inviting the audience to reflect on their identities, beliefs, and perceptions in a constantly shifting environment.
The sound score, layered with live music, evolves throughout the performance, shaping the emotional landscape. Light and video projections interact with the performers and space, creating fragmented reflections on surrounding surfaces. Mirrors symbolize layers of consciousness, memory, and identity, while live music and dance bring these concepts to life in real-time.
Layers of Being encourages the audience to witness the fluidity of existence, questioning how our memories, identities, and experiences overlap, transform, and interact over time.
The audience is invited to experience the performance from various perspectives, whether standing or sitting, and is welcome to engage for any length of time.
