TICK TACK TYPE Plays Imago's Opera Beyond Words Season

By:

Imago's Artistic Co-director Jerry Mouawad continues his series of "Opera Beyond Words" with the premiere of Tick Tack Type opening March 11 for four shows only. Performances will be at Imago Theatre, 17 SE 8th Avenue, on March 11, 12 & 13 @ 8:00, March 14 @ 3 PM. All tickets are free and can be reserved by emailing imagotheatre@gmail.com. Limited to two tickets per request. Recommended for ages 16 and older.

To reserve a ticket respond to this email with the subject field: "Ticket Request" Include your full name, address, city, state, zip. Do not pick a show date. We will release tickets on days that are available. You will receive an email confirmation of your tickets. Limited to two tickets per request. You have more than two people in your party? ... simple - get someone else in your party to make a request (if you arrive together, you can probably sit together.)

Five men and four women are dropped from a chute into a stark empty room to discover themselves as particpants in a strange typing academy. In this Becktian landscape Mouawad's characters search for ways to compete and survive under the rule of a tyrannical typing instructor played by Artistic Co-director Carol Triffle. Not unlike his two previous works Apis, or The Taste of Honey, and The Cuban Missile Tango, Mouawad has fashioned theatre without words to explore comedic and tragic drama. However unlike the previous works the creator notes that Tick Tack Type will remain in a universe that is primarily abstract.

This season, in a desire to have as many people as possible see the company's fringe productions, Imago is offering two productions free to the public. Contributed income and revenue from popular work enables Imago to offer contemporary theatre at zero cost to adventorous theater goers. Attendants at the shows will be asked to donate if they so desire.
