The Tale of an Exorcism at Koretz: A Dybbuk Story
A new theatrical work, based on the anonymous 17th Century Yiddish poem of the same name

Co-created by Mandy Mitchell and John Michael Sefel
Produced, written, and directed by John Michael Sefel
with puppet creation and direction by Mandy Mitchell

In a small village in Eastern Europe, a young girl is posessed by a malignant spirit. Through music, narration, and puppetry, The Tale of Exorcism in Koretz brings this 17th Century Yiddish dybbuk tale to life.

Warning: contains violent imagery, disturbing topics, and supernatural themes.

Bliss

By Olivier Choiniere
Translated by Caryl Churchill

Directed by Karie Miller

Four Wal-Mart employees gather to discuss their mutual affection for Celine Dion, but as the performance and story unfolds, reality bends in a way no one might have expected. Bliss asks us to consider what is truly spectacular and how the spectacle separates us not only from the target of our fascination, but also from ourselves.

Run time: 75 minutes, no intermission.

Free admission. First come, first served.
