MUNTERGANG AND OTHER CHEERFUL DOWNFALLS
Created and Performed by Great Small Works
May 3 – 6
Great Small Works revisits the work of radical 20th-century New York City puppeteers Zuni Maud and Yosl Cutler. In a bilingual Yiddish-English play that uses Maud and Cutler’s satirical puppet scripts and original graphics, together with Great Small Works’ own puppets and projections, as well as The Dybbuk and Mae West, Muntergang is a meditation on historical models for changing power relationships.
The Acme Corporation's latest hit play deconstructs the audience’s experience of watching. Follow No Strangers to the Fun Places lovingly follows two characters’ repeated—and constantly interrupted—attempts at making a piece of theatre. Through constant breaks, disruptions and disconnections, the show breaks down theatrical narrative; explores the relation of
fiction to real life; and ultimately tries to answer the question of why anyone would want to make art in the first place.
The show runs approximately 65 minutes.
Directed by Linda Kirkpatrick, senior lecturer in music, the College Band features nearly 50 musicians, including McDaniel students, as well as McDaniel faculty members, band alumni and community musicians, performing everything from classical to pops.
