A. (Alice) finds herself on the verge of a claustrophobic, monotonous life until one day she falls down a wormhole and ends up at the edge of the universe. There she meets up with R. (Rabbit) a celestial pirate, and sometime mailroom clerk, who is in the middle of a tug-of-war with a black hole. Madness (Synthropy-Entropy, the choreopoetics of space, collapsing universes and collapsing economies) and tea parties ensue.
Beckett, Math, and a Bath
Created by Christopher Loar
Directed by Rafael Gallegos
Performed by Christopher Loar & Martina Potratz
What if the later and lesser known works / life of Samuel Beckett, a branch of pure mathematics known as Combinatorics and the history of bathing all had a crazy party in your bathroom? Beckett, Math and a Bath uses text, movement, technology and two humans to combine, synthesize, align and hypnotize these three ingredients into a performance like no other! Drawing specifically from Beckett's Quad, CONLAB warps the bathroom into a laboratory where two people try to connect and relate through bubble bath, equations and coursed movement.

Written by Charles Borkhuis, Directed by Gabriel Shanks (co-director of a 2007 Obie-winning play)
Performed by Frank Blocker and Ben Trawick-Smith
Stage Manager: Jeni Shanks; Scenic Design: Allen Cutler; Sound Design: Robbie Heacock
Two characters find themselves slipping in and out of parallel lives through "wormholes" in the space-time of the play. One believes he has dozed off with a book in his lap and the play is a curiously lucid dream, while the other is convinced that their live performances are desperately real. For both, the play's complications and reversals become increasingly fascinating and frightening.
