The Great Triscuit Heist
SNAFU Society of Unexpected Spectacles
Tour: Central
Show Description
On a grassy knoll, the audience gathers. A clown emerges from below a large blue swath of fabric … the bird pond and coaxes a flock of wild bird-like creatures to enter with dedicated theme music. With help form the audience and a box of treats, the water begins to ripple. The clock begins to dance. The dance becomes more elaborate, more complex, more absurd as the bird play for Triscuit treats.

Whale Fall
timetheft theatre
Tour: Central
Show Description
As a whale dies, and falls deeper and deeper into the ocean, its corpse forms a new ecosystem at the bottom of the ocean. Sea creatures of all kinds come to snack on what’s left, and in the process their interactions and cohabitation make this dead whale a home. Using live music, dance, and the ocean itself, Whale Fall is a piece that artistically represents both the process of an actual whale fall, and the deeper woven meaning of the process of community unity and growth after loss.

The Great Sheist
Spec Theatre with Keith Sonic
Tour: Songhees
Show Description
A robber late to a robbery looks very unprofessional. At the same time, one might argue being a robber is a very unprofessional profession. What do you know about robber unions? Vacation time? Benefits? Professional Development? Wacky balaclava Thursdays? A weird improv silly-not-real-robbery performance thing by 2 local artmakers: ira cooper (Spec Theatre), Keith Sonic (Keith Sonic).
