Fifth House Ensemble to Play McCullough Theatre

Chicago-based Fifth House Ensemble is a versatile and dynamic group praised by The New York Times for its "conviction, authority, and finesse." The ensemble is defined by its limitless imagination and energy, and an insatiable desire to bring chamber music to audiences of all types. Their work consistently harnesses the collaborative spirit of chamber music to create transformative cross-media performance experiences that bring together elements as diverse as storytelling, physical theatre, graphic novels, and fashion design.

Fifth House Ensemble will present the third act of their acclaimed Black Violet* series developed with writer and illustrator Ezra Claytan Daniels. The dynamic performance of chamber music is set to a projection of graphic novel-style illustrations and narrative that follows a black house cat living in London during the plague.

The story follows Violet, a young black house cat living comfortably in London during the black plague. When her owner leaves home to do her part to help ease the suffering of London's afflicted, and her caretaker falls prey to the plague, Violet* is forced to venture out into the world for the first time in her life. In her search for her owner, Violet* faces unimaginable dangers, crosses paths with bizarre characters, and forges unexpected friendships, all amidst one of the most terrifying passages of London's history.

In addition to $10 tickets for primary, secondary, or college students, Texas Performing Arts is now offering a limited number of $12 tickets to active and retired military personnel for all 2015-2016 season performances (excludes Broadway and special engagements).
