From Imago's creator of The Reunion and Fallout, Carol Triffle puts up her latest work Pebble. Pebble is an outsider, or an artist, until one day a mysterious visitor comes and things begin to unravel through song, dance, and pills shared like snacks. Hilarious and heartbreaking. 

A reunion at the almost legendary club, The Talk House. Still presided over by the kindly Nellie, there's the same genteel atmosphere, the familiar drinks and the special snacks. The playwright, the composer, the actress. The former television star brutally beaten up. The possibility of a pleasant evening.

Jerry Mouawad, Artistic Co-Director of Imago Theatre, opens his world premier To Fly Again this Friday May 4 at 7:30 at Imago Theatre. , The work written, choreographed and directed by Jerry Mouawad plays May 4, 5, 6, 11, and 12, Fri/Sat at 7:30, Sun at 2:00.   Tickets for the show are $10, $15 or $20 - pay what you will. Tickets can be purchased at the door or by calling Imago at 503.231.9581 or online at ticketswest.com or by calling TicketsWest at 503.224.8499.

Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad, Artistic Directors of Imago Theatre, each bring to the stage their own original work in May and June. To Fly Again is written, choreographed and directed by Jerry Mouawad and plays May 4, 5, 6, 11, and 12, Fri/Sat at 7:30, Sun at 2:00.  Fallout is written and directed by Carol Triffle and plays June 1, 2, 3, 8, and 9, Fri/Sat at 7:30, Sunday at 2:00. While distinctly different, each play taps into a world removed from the ordinary. 

John, her husband, is continually ignored. Delores, his wife, tells all she meets that she's dying. The soon-to-be-gone and the invisible, Carol Triffle's motifs are lightly cloaked in this existential comedy of bad manners at a high school reunion.

Imago Theatre's mentor Jacques Lecoq, a theatre icon who influenced the world on movement in the performing arts, taught a concept called  "the balance of the stage."  In 1998, Jerry Mouawad, Artistic Co-Director of Imago Theatre, designed a deck suspended in a black void three feet off the stage floor that tips and sways in an abyss. It made physical and visible Lecoq's "Balance of the Stage."

Ten eclectic performers explore provocative musings on love with drama, dance, humour, physical theatre and song.
