    <![CDATA[It takes guts to stand up to the most powerful man in the country.  Especially when you're 15. 
	 Antigone dares to defy her uncle the king.  When her brother is killed in battle, King Creon pronounces him a traitor and denies him a proper burial.  It's honor and compassion versus control and pride.  In this production, there are no seats.

    <![CDATA[Imagine having no identity.  Feeling like your life up until now was practically erased.  Starting over.
  Meet a young Southeast Asian refugee called Anon.  A contemporary Odysseus from Homer's epic tale, who also enters a country by being swept ashore, having survived a boat crash.  But Anon's destination is the U.S.  And the time is as now as it can be.  Like Odysseus, Anon must live by his wits, his instincts, and constantly call upon his fortitude – and humore – to survive.
  This stunning lyrical tale is unflinching in its gritty determination to come at you with the absurdities of life.  Anon ricochets off one chaotic situation, then slam bangs into another.  From dumpster diving to talking to ghosts.  It's a dream.  It's a nightmare.  It's life.  It's the stuff of epic adventures – and real ones.
  A startling off-the-wall journey into a new American life.  As abundant and shabby, dour and funny, superficial and deep, anguished and hopeful as America itself.]]>

    <![CDATA[You've either been to one or are thinking of going to one.  Right?
  Well, either way, time to get a grip on the most overrated, overindulged, overspent money on, over-anticipated high school ritual ever.  Because you better believe, it is an experience.  This rite of passage is turned inside out at breakneck speed, in the form of a sporting event: students versus chaperones.  Prom is a multi-layered barrage of questions and open-ended answers set to a fantastic wall of music and outrageous imagery.  A bittersweet, wickedly funny, wise, thoughtful discovery for those looking forward and those looking back.  And those not even sure where to look.
  Premiered in 2004 to sold-out performances.  Deemed "Best Stage Production" by City Pages, and the St. Paul Pioneer Press declared it "one of the year's top ten plays."]]>

    <![CDATA[Get ready to fall under the spell of Will Power, renowned master of hip-hop theatre, as he turns out a neighborhood to the "beedee-ka-ka" sound of the truly amazing DJ Reborn.  Yeah, the whole neighborhood.  He becomes it.  He is it.    One guy morphing into street chroniclers like Swea P., Preacha Man, New Groun, who in turn, tell the urban tales of Fred the Roach, Blind Betty, and Cheesy.
  Raw and real.  A look at the tough, laughable, sweetness of life, then passing it on, ‘cause: ". . .these tales ain't just for stayin' alive, inside are the secrets on how to thrive. . ."
  Globally-acclaimed rapper/actor Will Power is not only the voice of hip-hop theatre, he helped pioneer it.  Fusing the smart, compelling spoken-word with original hip-hop beats and fluid movement.
   "They came to tell stories. . . flowin' . . . gettin' strong. . . carryin' on."   The New York Times said Flow "combined the complexity of serious drama with the visual and sonic arsenal of MTV. . ."]]>
