SUMMARY:Snow White
DESCRIPTION:A “Once Upon a Time” tale re-imagined for twice as much fun! Not your traditional Snow White\, this clever twist on the beloved fairy tale is a two-actor take that’s irresistibly playful and oh-so smart. With lightning quick switches\, the duet morphs into 14 characters\, retelling (along with a song or three!) the story of Snow White\, all seven dwarfs\, the prince\, queen and her madcap crew. Hilarious and charming\, this ingenious Snow White nudges the classic toward a more timely interpretation.

SUMMARY:Amor Renatus (Rebirth of Love)
DESCRIPTION:Introducing AMOR RENATUS (Rebirth of Love)\, new album release concert tour from the acclaimed cellist and composer\, Ian Maksin\, who has been known for his unique way of pushing the boundaries of cello and contemporary music. This concert features a collection of original instrumental compositions for cello\, powerfully augmented into virtual orchestra through the use of loop pedal\, and further expanded by sound of diverse percussion instruments ranging from trance-inducing grooves of the West African djembe to deep\, heart-beat-like sound of the Mongolian frame drum. Reflecting on the tragic ongoing events in Ukraine\, the music delves deep into the darkest recesses of the human soul\, unearthing a myriad of feelings universal to all wars: grief\, anger\, anguish\, and indignation. Portion of the proceeds from the concert tour and album sales will be directed to For Wellbeing\, a not-for profit organization providing humanitarian relief in the areas of Ukraine most affected by war.

SUMMARY:Oz
DESCRIPTION:It is 1899 in Chicago and L. Frank Baum is putting the finishing touches on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz\, but putting dreams on paper is elusive business\, and Baum is struggling with some definite plot problems: no title and no ending! Like the cyclone in his story\, Baum’s housekeeper\, Bridgey\, and a little girl named Dot get swept up in the mad vortex of his tale\, as Baum enlists them to help him improvise the story. Suddenly\, an overstuffed Victorian study becomes a magical land; somewhere in the heart of this frenzy is the whole creative process\, and in the end we realize that Baum is the real wizard of Oz\, but he needs an assistant … our imaginations.
