Off-Leash Area presents in our home studio, Our Garage, a new production led by Jennifer Ilse and based on her recent experience as a juror in a murder trial. The show centers on the accused, a young a woman, whose broken life is the result of that messy part of our culture where hidden abuse and neglect fester in the corners. It is a show that explores the burden of justice, and individual vs. social responsibility.

"Ivan the Drunk and His Terrible Tale of Woe", led by Paul Herwig, is a tragicomic story that takes on the subject of war and its effects on both the individuals who participate in it and the society that bears responsibility for it, portrayed by a small cast, fat suits, and lots of vodka! Look for another of OLA's signature installation-sets inspired by Russian gold leaf icons, Kandinsky, and the stark, religiously themed works of French painter Georges Rouault. We're excited to perform Ivan at Open Eye Figure Theatre's cool storefront theatre in south Minneapolis.
