Spinning Tree Celebrates Young Women Worldwide With EMOTIONAL CREATURE
Spinning Tree Theatre continues season eight January 17 - February 3 with the Kansas City premiere of Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World. Eve Ensler (The Vagina Monologues) adapted her bestselling book into a unique theatrical experience: a fierce collage of monologues, chat sessions, songs (original music by Charl-Johan Lingenfelder) and dance.
Emotional Creature features six outrageously talented Kansas City based performers: Ai Vy Bui, Madeline Campbell, Allison Jones, Deanna Mazdra, Mikala Sullivan and Emily Vargo. Chioma Anyanwu makes her Spinning Tree debut as co-director beside company co-founder Andrew Grayman-Parkhurst.
Artistic Director and co-founder Michael Grayman-Parkhurst: "Spinning Tree continues our mission of producing pieces that are at once highly theatrical and resonant. Emotional Creature allows us the opportunity to spend an evening in consideration of the power of young women. Eve Ensler's play-with-music is a highly energetic celebration that provokes conversation...and ultimately inspires change."
The Emotional Creature team includes stage manager Megan Greenlee, assistant stage manager Victoria Barbee, music supervisor Pamela Baskin-Watson, lighting designer Jeff Peltz, costume designer Shannon Smith-Regnier, scenic designer Warren Deckert and sound designer Jeff Eubank.
Emotional Creature (January 17 - February 3, 2019) and Billy Elliot (April 4-20, 2019) will play Just Off Broadway Theatre, 3051 Central in Kansas City, Missouri.
Single tickets available by calling Central Ticket Office at (816) 235-6222.
