Voices of Community, in its 5th year, is presented by Sandglass Theater every spring. Through performances and workshops, the series serves to create a sustained dialog between nationally acclaimed artists and our local community members about issues of diversity and identity. The series is made possible by funding from The National Endowment for the Arts and the National Performance Network. This year, Sandglass received additional funding from the National Endowment For the Arts to collaborate with other theaters on the east coast to build and spread the series. This year the series has become a collaboration among Touchstone Theatre in Bethlehem, PA, Hartbeat Theater in Hartford, CT and Sandglass Theater.

With humor, hope, candor and courage, CATERPILLAR SOUP offers an evening of story, revealing the transformational power of loss and celebrating life in all its messiness. Within the context of spinal cord injury, CATERPILLAR SOUP is a story of destiny and a powerful love unshaken by tragedy.
Written and performed by Lyena Strelkoff, CATERPILLAR SOUP reveals her two year odyssey in search of wholeness after being paralyzed, and the ultimate triumph of her spirit. More than entertainment, CATERPILLAR SOUP is nourishment... for the mind, heart and soul.
