Revolution in 1
Conceived and Created by Katie Palmer
Co-created and Performed by:
Laura Aristovulos, Rebekah Levin, Lizzy Palmer, Russell Peck*, Marchelle Thurman
*Appearing courtesy of Actors’ Equity
Association Additional text by Jake Lasser
Revolution in 1, a dance and spoken word study, explores the double meaning of the word (as in revolt and revolve). What can these two ideas reveal about what is happening in our ever- expanding and ever-connecting world? And what are the eventual, potentially inevitable, outcomes of this constant cycling of rebellious ideals?

After the Rapture
Created by Eric Mercado and Ryann Wier
Featuring Dana Clinkman and Mark Costello
“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.” -1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

Every Wednesday

Revolution makes me think of all the successful musicals dealing with said subject. Namely Les Mis and Ragtime. We just kept coming back to the common practice of idle activity. The idea that we exist in this incredibly hyper aware society that is often led be convenience. We want to change the world by doing nothing. Thanks to Paul and Katie. And Tom and Jerry.

“But you know what’s the most wonderful thing about New York? It’s where everyone comes to get fucked. It’s one of the last places left where people are still willing to bend over to let in the new. And the old. New Yorkers are, uh, permeable. You know what I mean? Therefore we’re sane. Consequently, we’re the target of the impermeable and the insane. And of course, New York is where everyone comes to be forgiven. What have you done wrong? “
