JACK Presents William Burke's VARIATIONS ON THE MAIN

The duo of playwright/director William Burke and composer Catherine Brookman return to JACK with a "theatrical séance for listening," co-directed by Burke and Bryn Herdrich. As the final show at JACK's current location, the audience and performer will collectively strip the space of its contents over the course of the three-week run, leaving it empty by the final performance. Through this process of emptying, the team will strive to clear the air of distractions and ask us to help each other and take care of our brains in the most theatrical of ways.

From the artists: "We will try and fail and try again and ask for a commitment to our fellow humans sharing our air. Not a self-help cult...not a thing...just some floorboards and some real time."
