This is a show for you. Show runs 90 mins, with a short pause. Core/Us is a new group work from Action at a Distance. Choreographed by artistic director Vanessa Goodman, four dancers transverse our perception of how we hear movement and see sound with intensity and dedication.

Research includes impacting the body against structures such as thunder sheets and utilizing technology to record, loop and amplify the sonic remnants of the body’s impact within space, and is furthered by continually questioning how we define sustainability and resilience within capitalist mechanization.

Public Property
I’m Monroe Martin, and I have a new one-man show called Public Property. It’s about self-discovery and the effects that the foster care system has had on my adult life. I realized I’d been in survival mode for 36 years and it feels like I escaped from one of those bunkers where crazy dudes store their second family. I’ve been roaming this big dumb rock called earth for years, but I feel like I’m experiencing things for the first time: friendship, love, and all those other feelings people take drugs to suppress. I’m unsure if I’m fully out of survival mode; maybe this is me sticking my dry-ass hand out the window and feeling the breeze. I thought I was well-adjusted this entire time, but I’ve been off-centered for decades.

The Power of Yep is part character comedy, part play, and part advice show from Carter Lee Iddings and Lexi Ritter.

CHEAT
Chloe has cheated in almost every relationship she’s ever had, and she’s been in a lot of relationships, because she is a serial monogamist who is very bad at one of those words. Infidelity is more common than any of us admit; most people just keep it a guilty secret forever. Chloe is a comedian, writer, and actor in NYC, with a special on Comedy Central. This solo show arcs from standup comedy at the beginning to heartbreaking self-investigation at the end: think Nanette performed by Don Draper. Through autobiographical stories and observational humor, she walks through why someone cheats and how to face an addiction to intimacy. Because while progressive society engages with nuance in almost every other area of sexuality and gender, cheaters remain black-and-white villains. We take an abstinence-only approach to infidelity: just don’t do it! And we all remember how well abstinence-only worked in sex ed. The show does not advocate cheating; but it does know everyone’s little secret.
