STRATAGEM #1: For The Dogs
One woman’s intricate emotions involving debt, dogs, and love come into full view in this humorous new one-act, one person play written and directed by Josh McIlvain. Performed by Anna Watson.
“Director Josh McIlvain has a gift for creating improbable situations that keep getting more absurd.” Philadelphia City Paper
STRATAGEM #2: Parade of Traces
Dancers create environments that get left behind, vanish without a trace, or linger in the air—pushing themselves to examining their own edges. A new dance work choreographed and directed by Shannon Murphy of idiosynCrazy productions. Performed by Shannon Murphy and Michele Tantoco.
“The talented Shannon Murphy stole the show.” Phillist
STRATAGEM #3: Quando Sei Qui, Se Fossi di Famiglia
Two servers from Olive Garden wait in line to celebrate a birthday at the Cheesecake Factory. A new one act play written and directed by John Rosenberg of Hella Fresh Theater. With Sarah Rosenberg and Sebastian Cummings.
“An impetuous playwright [who] takes a radical approach to independent Philly theater.” Philadelphia City Paper
