SMOKE, Part Two of 'True Stories' Trilogy, Comes to SoSE, 10/9-11/2

Smoke is the second installment of the "True Stories" trilogy created by the Circle² Collective, which was preceded last year by the company's inaugural production, Embers. Whereas Embers was an exploration of Beginnings, Origins, and Identity, Smoke examines the themes of Crossroads, Transitions, and Fear.

The show is a series of vignettes created using Moment Work, popularized by the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning group, the Tectonic Theater Project. (The Laramie Project, I am My Own Wife, Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo.) Smoke asks: how does fear influence the choices we make in life, and how do we choose to live with the consequences? Join us for a multimedia theatrical event filled with Enigmas, Apparitions and Horrors, both real and imagined.
