  ASK THE QUESTION
Written & Performed by
Jeff Nichols'

Five loosely connected characters—from “Ahmed,” the Pakistani immigrant held without charge after 9/11, to “The Initiated One,” a guru offering enlightenment for the capitalist age—reveal the conflicts of ideology, faith, political power and the role of the individual in contemporary American life. Alternately dark and comic, intellectual and absurd, “Ask the Question” will engage and provoke you.

Jeff Nichols’ performing career has included singing in rock bands, playing trumpet, acting, and spoken word performances.  He will be attending Southern Illinois University’s Playwriting MFA program in the Fall.  “Ask the Question” was work-shopped in Minneapolis at the Acadia Café and further developed with David Ford at The Marsh.

  THERE BE DRAGONS
Written & Performed by
Evan Specter
Direction & Dramaturgy by Corey Fischer
Music by Lucas Ward


Part coming-of-age story, part spiritual adventure, this disarming and theatrical solo takes us from Venice, California to Kathmandu, as an Amherst religion major looks for the real thing via esoteric teachings, near-death experiences, giant Komodo lizards and doomed romance.  Evan Specter's post-post-modern embodied storytelling introduces us to a psychic pool-cleaner, a Tibetan secret-agent, a German past-life coach, an array of Axis power and Australian hotties, and various Buddhist, Hindu, Sufi and self-taught spiritual guides.
