NEW CONSERVATORY THEATRE CENTER Head Over Heels

DEC 6 JAN 12 2019 – 2020

Your stories. Our stage. This season.

2019–20 Season WELCOME from the Founder & Artistic Director Yes people, ! But in the imaginary Kingdom of Arcadia its joyous sound has become muted. The inhabitants are adrift and their ruler, to put it mildly, has lost his way. Polarized, frazzled and generally a mess, the rhythm of life across the land is completely out of sync.

Thank goodness this is all make-believe. It could never happen in our world, right? For we understand the power of unity. That when we stand together in dignity for all, everything is possible. We also know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that love and respect are the basic ingredients of a healthy society.

It is also abundantly clear that the right to be who you are, love who you want, and to live in peace are among our highest priorities. Would we ever stray from these principles? Of course not. But, if by chance we ever did, then a course correction would be immediate and harmony across the land would be swiftly restored.

We are Head Over Heels to celebrate such a life-affi rming story with you this holiday season. It’s fun, it’s crazy and The Go-Go’s music is not to be missed. Wrap it around a tale that reminds us that joy and compassion are to be cherished and you’ve got a real holiday treasure. Let music lift our hearts. Let love lead the way. Let happiness fl ow forth. Today and every day we have the power to make the world a better place for everyone.

Have a magical winter and a new year fi lled with abundant acts of kindness.

CAST Tonight’s show centers on journey and discovery, as so many good stories do. Thank you for taking the radical Rotimi Agbabiaka* act of leaving your comfortable space and journeying David Bicha out to see live theatre. We’ll reward your efforts with an Kimberley Cohan experience that is unique - to this performance, to this Danya El-Kurd moment in time.

I am admittedly biased, but in an age when a lot of our experiences Scott Scholes and most of our communication is both mass-produced and happens in Stephanie Temple front of a screen, I think this unique collective moment of theatre is, in Casey Anne Apregan and of itself, something that matters.
