Ghost & Spice Productions Presents: Edward Albee's At Home at the Zoo-
TRIANGLE PREMIERE
Darkly comic, fascinating, gut wrenching. This riveting full-length play
pairs Edward Albee's landmark 1958 play, The Zoo Story, with its recently
penned prequel, Homelife. Edward Albee's At Home at the Zoo examines a
deliciously revealing and nuanced relationship between a husband and wife,
and then catapults the husband into a life-changing encounter on the same
day with a desperate outcast. It demonstrates why Edward Albee continues to
be one of our greatest living dramatists.

[DANCE/PERFORMANCE]
Anima Dance and Common Ground Theatre Present: Oh, Beautiful: My Patriot Act
by Rachel Brooker
Oh, Beautiful: My Patriot Act is an evening-length performance using dance,
text and video to present a kaleidoscope of qualities of the US today
through the eyes of an expatriate. US-born Choreographer Rachel Brooker has
lived in Berlin for three years, and through the benefit of distance has
begun to address her native culture in her work. Dance, text, sound and
video amplify, support and antagonize each other, just as Brooker's
contradictory perspectives and emotions about her homeland form, through
their conflict, a fraught but coherent picture of US culture and politics at
this moment in history.
November 20& 21 at 8:00 p.m.
Ticket Price: TBD
Reservations: (919) 698-3870
