Growing up as a budding writer, Alexa’s world is rocked after being placed in remedial reading and spelling classes at school. One dyslexia diagnosis later, we follow Alexa as she navigates school, discovers the internet, declares Shakespeare to be an old fart, and revives her love for words. Using dance, spoken word, and a few book references for good measure, Celexia is an autobiographical ode to words and a declaration of our human desire to create and be heard.
A Stand-Up Dramedy by Conner Christmas: A solo show about our relationship with Christmas. It captures the magic of Christmas as a kid, the growing pains of the holiday season as an adult, and Conner’s own relationship to Christmas, through song, stand-up comedy, and storytelling. Come celebrate and critique Christmas as you learn the history of Christmas past, the feeling of Christmas present, and goals for Christmas future. Take a deep dive into nostalgia, and reconnect with the magic we’ve all felt during the holidays.
