THEATERLAB PRODUCTION
Theaterlab presents
Signdance Collective’s production of
Carthage/Cartagena
July 19 – 21 | Wed – Fri at 8pm
Tickets: $20 HERE
Set in an imagined despoiled, war-torn landscape, Carthage/Cartagena uncovers the lost voices of those who have been displaced and isolated by slavery, human trafficking, and forced migration. Signdance Collective imagines Caridad Svich’s text, which is constructed as a series of ten song-poems, through their signature hybrid form, incorporating dance, theatre, music and languages both spoken and signed.
Written by Obie Award winner Caridad Svich
Performed by Signdance Collective
Director: The Company with Joke Menssink and Beatriz Cabur
Cast: Lionel Macauley, Isolte Avila, David Bower, & Angelina Schwammmerlin
From 1987 to 2000, Signdance Collective’s directors-Isolte Avila and David Bower-began constructing their unique fusion of sign theatre, dance, and original live music. In 2001, they officially formed Signdance Collective, a company crafting new and original work built on inclusivity, with a focus on disability- and deaf-led work. They have forged a number of international collaborations, delivering workshops and producing “innovative and creatively brilliant performances” (Diversity Awards, BBC) across the globe.
The production of Carthage/Cartagena is funded, in part, by Arts Council England. Presented by Theaterlab.

CLOUD 9
July 27 – August 5
Thu at 8pm, Fri at 8pm, Sat at 3pm & 8pm, Sun at 3pm
Tickets: $25 General Admission | $15 Students HERE
Cloud 9 by Caryl Churchill is the unapologetically brash synthesis of two times – one defined by boundaries and another defined by their destruction. Any sense of polish melts away in Churchill’s reimagined universe, as lines of propriety, identity and gender are beyond crossed. Through 137 years, ten relationships, four songs and two vastly contrasting acts, one family learns what it means to come of age in a sexually political world.
Writer: Caryl Churchill
Director: Cameron King
Cast: Noa Bornstein, Dillon Claro, Charlotte Durkee, Abe Jacobs, Jarrett Jung, Zeke St. John, and Isabel Renner.
