All shows at 8pm

Off-Leash Area continues its Tenth Anniversary Season with its 18th original work, The Jury.

Based on OLA co-artistic director Jennifer Ilse¹s experience serving as a juror on a murder trial, The Jury unravels the tangled fabric of a young woman¹s violent past to judge her innocence or guilt for a charge of murder. Performed by a powerful cast of dancers and actors immersed in a visual world of fabric and sculpture, The Jury is our search for the balance between social and individual responsibility for our young women and men who use and experience violence as part of their daily lives. The Jury is born from the hope that we each have the power to make real change in our community.

Performers: Jennifer Ilse, Karla Grotting, Adena Brumer, Brian Evans, Bryan Gerber, Kaori Kenmotsu, Jennifer Mack, and John Zeiler , Choreography by Jennifer Ilse, Sound design and composition by Reid Kruger, Lighting design by Paul Epton. Fabric installation set by Paul Herwig. With text by Max Sparber.

In special partnership with Amicus, a non-profit organization that works with inmates, ex-offenders, juvenile offenders and communities to build successful lives and stronger communities. Post-show discussions with artistic directors and Amicus representatives January 30 and February 5.
