This performance is part of our Education on Stage/Field Trip Series and is recommended for children in PreK-Grade 5. Renowned storyteller and cultural educator Dovie Thomason presents a special on-stage educational performance celebrating Native American Heritage Month. As we prepare for Thanksgiving, Stories of Thanks&nbsp;shares the tales&nbsp;of many cultures explaining the original “whys” of the world, as science does now. The imagery and values in the stories from Dovie’s Native ancestry pair the “whys” of science with the very contemporary “hows” of living in balance on our shared Earth.&nbsp;This enriching experience supports learning through the arts while inspiring students to listen deeply, celebrate heritage, and appreciate the power of stories passed down through generations.&nbsp;There is a 10 AM show and 11:15 AM show.

Hailed by&nbsp;The New York Times&nbsp;as “…outrageous feats of physical comedy,” BAROCOCO is a collaborative-decided ensemble work in which Happenstance Theater portrays oblivious entitlement on the brink of extinction. This timely reflection on history is a physical comedy dive into the late Baroque and flaunts 18th-century finery, wigs, panniers, gestural styling, elaborate ornamentation,&nbsp;and the excesses of Rococo. The characters navigate dangerous curves of manners and the Age of Enlightenment from the exquisite to the revolting. Happenstance has great fun puncturing one percent pomposity and presents the poignant possibility of change.
