Upcoming AUDITIONS for an Original Piece!

Anam Cara Theatre Company announces it's next play! Understanding Everything All At Once (**working title, subject to change as the piece evolves**) will be an ensemble-created piece, directed by guest director out of Minneapolis, Samantha Johns.

Show Dates:

November 11, 12, 13, 18, 19 at 8pm


About the Show:

A collaborative performance-collage created with human bodies and minds. Visionary director Samantha Johns will guide a group of performers through her workshop process of creation with text, objects, thoughts and play. We begin with text by Savannah Reich, a script that is not so much a script as it is a treasure box of ideas and images, a grab bag of words, or a diving board. From this starting point the group will collectively find their way to a piece of theatre concerned with yearning towards something you can't see, living with desperate needs you can't understand, and not learning from your mistakes. Working primarily in the composition of games, assignments, and improvisation and moving toward a fixed form.
