Choreography & set: Beth Corning

A zany theatrical ride that explores the question of "whatever happened to Dick & Jane?" A series of vignettes that range from the humorous to the poignant, from the comical to the disturbing.

"The irony is thick...an astonishing work...there is no guessing what comes next, and while there are lots of laughs in the piece, they're balanced by poignant moments that make it thoughtful and persuasive."

- Akron Beacon


"A psychological thriller, full of vivid
portraits that both delighted and discomforted.
This was not only compelling dance,
but compelling theater!"

- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
