The Catskill
Festival of New Theatre

July 27 - August 5, 2001

 

The Time Cycle is a performance for young people ages 6 and up. A time pilot named Grace Faluta is sent on a crazy adventure back in time where she visits Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, and a mysterious Medieval Alchemist. Incorporating NACL signature theatre elements-- a capella song, stilt walking, and great costumes-- this 40 minute piece mixes science, art, and historical facts to tell an adventurous tale of the power of knowledge, imagination, and belief. The performance features Tannis Kowalchuk, Brad Krumholz, and Megan Wyler.

Murderers Bay, a solo show written and performed by Los Angeles artist, Lisa Black, is a spellbinding travelogue that explodes with tales of battle and peaceful acts that beget legends in New Zealand's Thermal District. Murderers Bay strikes terror, makes you laugh, and speaks directly from the heart of actress Lisa Black, who has performed in Poland, Italy, Romania, Brazil, Belgium, and across North America.

The Garden introduces us to a vigorous young woman who is dying and has one hour before her spirit must depart for the next place. With this impossible time-limit looming, the performance explores the emotional and psychological state of a woman whose time is up, and who must leave life before she's ready. Toronto based actor Laura Astwood and director Karin Randoja have created an intricate and moving portrait, based on text from the letters of Barbara Gosling Gray.
