By by Craig Wright

Prisoners Wallace and Valdez don’t know where they are or why they’re there. But using elaborate guesswork, wit, and faith they fashion the unseen world around them with extravagant, absurd realities. The Unseen is a genuinely funny but dark tale from Craig Wright, author of The Pavilion and Recent Tragic Events, and television hits such as the HBO series Six Feet Under and ABC’s Lost, Brothers & Sisters, and Dirty Sexy Money. The

Unseen contains strong language and violent images.

Jordan Fuchs Company presents Thicket

Jordan Fuchs will present two works of dance. Created with composer Andy Russ, Thicket explores an environment that grows denser with the entanglements of human interactions, as four dancers ply the border between intimacy and abstraction. The audience, thrust into the dancer's world through the wearing of headphones, inhabits a dynamic, hyper-real and surreal environment, in which the visual and aural dislocate.

Lacy & Shade with Gamblin, Keller & Scott present Moving Portraits: Four Women, About Women

These artists have been recognized in 2004 and 2006 as one of the top Ten Dance Events by the Dallas Morning News along such renown companies as Lyon Opera Ballet, Garth Fagan Dance and Ralph Lemon. At the 2007 festival dance critic Margaret Putnam described their performances: “…it’s better to let your senses drink in the marvelous dancing. The very range of motion – its dynamic tension, its fluidity in ever-changing shapes, its quickness and pauses – piled on the richness. These are mature artists, and nothing went to waste…Every work was elliptical, tantalizing, fresh."

Valdosta State University presents Holler Me Home
By Debra Fordham

The play centers on a family living in the Okefenokee Swamp in 1930. The family’s closed world is burst open with the arrival of a stranger. The lyrical sounds and mysterious mists of the swamp frame a glimpse into a world different from contemporary society and as vast as the trembling earth of the Okefenokee. The sounds of the hollers, crickets and birds set the mood for significant change in the Trowell family. In the clash of traditional and modern lifestyles, the characters struggle to find a place in their own worlds.
