Adolescent Salvation

Theater Wit

Over the course of one night, through a haze of tequila, texting, and Taylor Swift, three teenagers banter, bicker, and push each other to the edge of danger - with consequences that could prove lethal. It begins light and funny, then shifts into something far darker, its tonal shifts as natural as the mood swings of youth. A play that lingers long after the curtain, Adolescent Salvation dares to portray adolescence in all its abundance of contradictions: sloppy, raw, and deeply human.

Hair

Kokandy Productions at Chopin Theatre

The American tribal love rock musical HAIR celebrates the sixties counterculture in all its barefoot, long-haired, bell-bottomed, beaded and fringed glory. To an infectiously energetic rock beat, the show wows audiences with songs like "Aquarius," "Good Morning, Starshine," "Hair," "I Got Life" and "Let The Sunshine In." Exploring ideas of identity, community, global responsibility and peace, HAIR remains relevant as ever as it examines what it means to be a young person in a changing world.
