The Extremes Return to Cotuit Center for the Arts 11/6, 11/7

The Extremes return to Cotuit Center for the Arts after standing room only shows in 2007 premiering their orginal soap opera, "It's a War Out There", written and performed by the Extremes under the direction of Joanne Callum Powers. Six daughters tell their story of growing up with dad in the wake of WWII. When the war was over dad became a "warrior without a war". He traded his rifle for the brief case and the battle at home was waged. Dad taught us that life is short, life is tough, don't forget to smile, look them right in the eye, wash your hands before dinner, and don't forget... "It's a War Out There".

The Extremes were founded in 2000 by a collective of dance artists, blend music, theater, dance, soap opera and the art of storytelling. They have been teaching, performing, and choreographing for over 30 years throughout the US. They have graced many stages on Cape Cod including Harwich Jr. Theater, Academy of Performing Arts, Big and Small Puppet Theater, Cape Cod Community College, and Provincetown Playwriters.

The Extremes are working together with Berklee College of Music composer, Bryce Kanzer to create an original score for this show. They are also joined by writer/performer, Christine Rathbun. Her acclaimed one-woman shows, "Reconstruction, or How I Learned to Pay Attention" and "Giant Women" were MCC grant finalists. Her work has been featured in the magazine MAMM and the literary journal, Ars Medica.
