The Exchange Artists Present Again- Family, Friends, and Lovers

The Exchange Artists announce their upcoming production Again- Family, Friends, and Lovers, a multi-media, partially improvised new show created from real moments of regret. Three completely unique performances will take place Friday, August 19, Saturday, August 20, and Sunday, August 21st at 8pm at the Santa Cruz Theatre Center, 1805 East Seventh Street, Austin, TX 78702. The performances will last about an hour. Tickets are $20 for one night, or $30 for all three nights, and can be purchased online at brownpapertickets.com, or reserved by emailing exchangeartists@gmail.com.

Again- Family, Friends, and Lovers, provides a fully staged opportunity for actors to reenact moments from their pasts with the hope of better outcomes. For the performance, each storyteller will encounter another actor prepared to play the person from their past moments. The outcomes of each encounter will not be rehearsed but will be improvised live on the night of the show. Each evening will include several of these improvised new outcomes as well as video and audio accounts of past moments from additional community members. In their honesty, these performances will provide a look at our collective humanity, our vulnerabilities, and our ability to make better choices for ourselves and those around us.
