2019 Season

Fact, Fallacy, Fantasy

When we get lost in the imagination, the most fantastic things seem true. Fantasy bridges the gap between fact and fallacy, revealing a spectrum of possibilities and stories. Our 2019 season explores how fantastic storytelling reshapes and reveals truth through the art of literary burlesque.

His legendary tales serve as the map for our first adventure of 2019 in which we explore the power of storytelling.
