Tabletop Tragedies is a triptych of works by Chicago's Frank Maugeri with longtime collaborator Seth Bockley (The Last Matador, The Death and Life of Billy The Kid, and A Simple Soul).  These irreverent, imaginative, and affecting works, scored by Liz Chidester, tell true stories of fate and redemption using a vast array of techniques including hand-carved wooden puppets, beastly masks, haunting music, and an epic Wild West chase scene performed on paper scrolls. (Recommended ages 12+).

March 2 - April 7.  This lyrical comedy consists of nine short scenes with seven alternating musical compositions involving the Baron Medusa, his daughter Frisette, her young suitor Astolpho, the Baron's recalcitrant valet Polycarpe and a dancing mechanical monkey named Jonas. The Surrealist play juxtaposes music, text and movement and is considered to be a precursor to Dadaism.
