'08 / '09 SEASON
Heroes and Villains by Daniel Janoff Aug. 28 - Sept. 21, 2008 Heroes and Villains is the story of a quiet, unassuming man
who’s managed to convince an entire town that he’s a superhero. It’s
also the story of a woman who sets out to prove that the superhero in
question is a total fraud. However, when she arrives in town, she
discovers that heroes rarely wear capes, villains are rarely bad guys
and that beauticians always make the best leading men. Jon by George Saunders October 30 – December 14, 2008 Jon is a futuristic allegory about teenage love and
self-discovery in a corporate universe where television commercials
replace life experiences. Collaboraction's Associate Artistic Director
Seth Bockley adapts the story by MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship awardee
George Saunders. This world premiere production will explore the
boundaries of video and theater in realizing this surreal and strangely
moving coming-of-age story. The 9th Annual SKETCHBOOK Festival March 2009 A lively celebration of staged theatrical works, music and
fine art, SKETCHBOOK is a short play festival like no other. Each year
Collaboraction guides more than 200 artists through an exciting
collaboration where 10-20 short performances, each seven minutes or
less in length, mingle with visual art and music. The SKETCHBOOK
Festival is Collaboraction at its best: breaking down the walls that
divide theater, music, visual art, video and the Internet, transforming
the space into a singular world where audiences can be both spectator
and artist, contributing to dynamism of each performance. El Grito del Bronx by Migdalia Cruz July 14 – August 9, 2009 El Grito del Bronx follows the story of Lulu on the eve of her
wedding as she confronts her past, including her connection to her
brother Papo, who is on death row awaiting the death penalty for
murder. Collaboraction’s world premiere production will merge the
lyrical nature of Cruz’s work, Teatro Vista’s stellar ensemble and
Collaboraction’s penchant for cinematic staging and powerful acting. The Flex Pass Don't
