Icebox Project Space

A fast moving, spell-binding tragic-comedy. A story about the life of a gifted artist and ingenious comedian who becomes schizophrenic and takes off hitchhiking across America in a futile effort to outrun his mental illness. 
What if you thought the funniest and saddest thing you could ever write/act would be the story of your crazy brother taken directly from his own “manifesto” about his own illness?&nbsp; In Shatterproof, a solo show written and performed by Dana Block, that’s exactly what is going down.&nbsp; Dana Block draws on a world created by her brother in cartoons, rants and ravings, and tells the story of their artistic Jewish family in rural Missouri, bringing each character fully to life on stage, including the hallucinated ones!&nbsp; In this boiling pot of mental illness and art, life is precariously balanced.&nbsp; This beautifully imagined one-woman show, directed by award-winning Artistic Director of Bedlam Theatre Co, Eric Tucker, is headed to an Off-Broadway debut in November, 2026.&nbsp; It is not to be missed. Shatterproof is a true story, given voice by a sibling who knows first hand, the heartbreak of trying to save someone who is irretrievably lost.&nbsp; Shatterproof (formerly produced as “Monkey Man” ) has been called “hilarious and heart breaking.” The limited engagement will play Icebox Project Space Gallery (1400 N American St, Philadelphia, PA) from September 18-27, 2026. <a href="https://fringearts.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/events/a0SUO00000KgwMZ2AZ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Tickets are available now via this link.</a>
“I am so excited to bring this beautiful piece to the Philadelphia Fringe Festival” – Eric Tucker, Artistic Director, Bedlam Theatre Co, NYC
“It is a privilege to be let into her world. When this raw honesty is revealed, its gravity is gripping” – All About Solo, United Solo Festival
“Monologues explode like bombs in slow motion…Ms. Block’s performance was brilliant.” – Hi-Drama, William Cataldi
Shatterproof, Dana Block’s autobiographical dark comedy comes to Philadelphia for three performances on September 18, 26, and 27 before its anticipated Off-Broadway run. Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, the play tells the story of a sister’s quest to help her younger brother — a gifted artist and comedian (think Robyn Williams) – whose schizophrenia sends him on the road hitchhiking for decades. Inspired by Block’s own experiences growing up in a close-knit Jewish family, Shatterproof gives voice to the sibling experience of losing a cherished loved one to an illness whose only promise is, it cannot be cured.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Shatterproof shares a wildly funny portrait of an artistic Jewish family from St. Joseph, Missouri, before unfolding the extraordinary story of Dana’s relationship with her brother. As a teenager, Marc’s schizophrenia leads him to hitchhike across America in an attempt to outrun his illness and find himself. Twenty years later, Dana begins a journey of her own—to try to bring back her brother.&nbsp;
The original material for the show is drawn from Marc’s journals, drawings, and writings, and brings audiences inside both the brilliance and chaos of his mental illness. Through humor, honesty and compassion, the play invites audiences to laugh at Marc, laugh with Marc, and fall in love with Marc and his utterly mischievous personality.
The title Shatterproof reflects the role Dana found herself playing within her family: the person who could hold the center and the only person who had the guts to go out and to try to find him. Dana discovered that loving her brother did not mean having the power to make decisions for him — it meant learning to accept that regardless, he had possession of his own life and that it was his right to live it as he wanted.
At a time when conversations about mental health have never been more urgent, Shatterproof reminds us that behind every diagnosis is a family painfully navigating impossible choices—and that even in our darkest moments, laughter can become an act of survival. Catch Shatterproof before its Off-Broadway run and experience this extraordinary true story.

What if what you knew about flutes was only part of the story? In the very old days, fluting had heft. These intentional, slow-crafted compositions reconnect to this elemental power. Return to the root through solo woodwind adventures, dark green Zen and forgotten breathing methods.
"It's like solo Jethro Tull ... on Dagobah." [Chauncey B., discogs]
Featuring original compositions plus the occasional Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix or John Coltrane arrangement, this is an intentional presentation of the soul-shifting tone of a rare low-pitched, root-end bamboo flute. At the crossroads of solo recital, porch blues, spiritualist séance and cave ritual, we will shift to an elemental perception and participate in a breath-powered odyssey that is both rustic and virtuosic – earthy and ethereal. It will engage subtle-perception and transmit the range of vital energies that saturate primeval nature.
The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@CorneliusBoots" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Cornelius Boots YouTube channel</a>&nbsp;has over 500 videos of shakuhachi being performed in venues and various natural settings around the world since 2011, and it gives you a sense of the elemental nature music you will be experiencing up close in one of Philadelphia's historic spaces. In 2026, Boots is celebrating 25 years of studying, practicing, teaching and conjuring a new voice for this ancient instrument. The program will include about 9 selections from his growing catalog (about 57 originals and 12 arrangements) of compositions written specifically for this rare woodwind instrument, contextualized by green man folklore, breathing secrets and tales from his variegated woodwinding life.
About the Artist
Cornelius Boots is an internationally active composer-performer, lifelong woodwind innovator and the inventor of chthonic breathing. He is a licensed grandmaster of Zen shakuhachi, creator of progressive rock, jazz and blues styles and repertoire, and a former bass clarinet pioneer. As Philadelphia’s premiere rustic virtuoso, Boots’ purpose is to transmit the spirit of primeval nature through the rigorous artistry and unique tone of the bass shakuhachi flute, honoring the dual regional lineages of John Coltrane (cosmically creative musicianship) and the Wissahickon hermits (devotional nature spirituality). The founder of Black Earth Shakuhachi School, Boots grew up in Yardley where he started playing the clarinet in 1983. His first professional gig was subbing into the Mummers Parade on alto sax in 1988, then he spent 32 years living elsewhere, and now resides in Wyndmoor. In addition to grants, awards, commissions and many recordings, Boots was a featured performer and lecturer at World Shakuhachi Festivals 2016 (Prague), 2018 (London) and 2025 (Texas), World Bamboo Congress 2018 (Mexico), Clarinetfests 2008, 2011 and 2013 and his Sony E3 2018 Ghost of Tsushima live performance has over 6 million views on YouTube.
A three-time graduate of the renowned Jacobs School of Music (BM Classical Clarinet ’97, BS Audio Recording ’97, MM Jazz Studies ’99), Boots’ training and work experience is deep and diverse: jazz saxophonist, swing clarinetist, symphony bass clarinetist, funk and progressive rock bandleader and founder/composer of the world’s only composing bass clarinet quartet, Cornelius continues to develop Hermit Jazz &amp; Nature Blues: a robust, cross-cultural solo style utilizing rare breath-defying techniques and maximum panstylistic prowess.
In 2013, Boots was given the shakuhachi name "Shinzen" (depth Zen or deep Zen). In 2022, he was awarded a Dai Shihan (grandmaster) certificate in for his contributions and innovations.
