A flexible path back to live theater
The ghost light is dimming: Sound Theatre is returning to the stage after a nearly 21-month performance hiatus. Beginning October 21, the month-long Making the Waves Fall Arts Festival ‘21 will present a celebration of artists across multiple disciplines, providing space, play development, and technical support for local artists and audiences to dip their toes back into the pool of theatrical possibility.
Spanning four weekends at 12th Ave Arts, the festival will feature over 20 acts (and counting) including dance, stand-up comedy, one-person shows, play/poetry readings, musicians, films and more. Sound Theatre will also provide slots for selected artists to use the venue space to workshop new scripts or privately present work-in-progress projects.
“Our festival’s intention is to do what artists need now and what audiences want right now, which is flexibility and safety,” said co-artistic director Teresa Thuman.
Among others, Making the Waves will feature Rose Cano (Imaginary Opus ‘18, Madwoman of Chaillot ‘21), who will workshop and present Pariah, a full-length play; Porscha Shaw (Hoodoo Love, ‘17) will perform Ebony, I love you, a solo musical performance; Parmida Ziaei (You Can’t Take it with You ‘18,The Rules of Charity ‘18, Peeling‘19)) will perform Iranian dance choreography. Sound Theatre Company will also welcome exciting newcomers including ensembles like The Disabled List and our show sponsor, Crip Riot. N.B. All Tickets sales go directly to the artists.
Since Sound Theatre rarely misses a step, this festival is bound to be a delight!
