DONNIE AND THE MONSTERS

WRITTEN BY ROBERT J. GIBBS
DIRECTED BY HEIDI G. GRUMELOT

Donnie isn’t good at gym class, making friends, or avoiding bullies. To cope with pre-teen life changes and loneliness his imagination runs wild with monsters, pirates, and talking toilets. A sock puppet play for adults, Donnie and the Monsters deals with the issues we develop during childhood and then cling to or hide from when we grow up.

The Hyperbolist

The extension

The Hyperbolist is a grandiloquent farce of tiny proportion about one desperate human's search for love in a world that offers mostly rakes to step on. In what the Chicago Tribune called, "an archly conceived puppet show," Joe Mazza uses a gaggle of puppets, film, and interactive live performance to explore our collective definition of love.

The show is Leo Buscaglia meets David Lynch. It's the Brothers Quay-- only live. There's flea circus brutality, a puppet crucifixion, and an assignment at the end to run into the streets to smile at strangers. It's a fun and exhausting introduction into Joe Mazza's phantasmagorically raucous world.

A Mysterious Way

Written by Dallas Theatre Critic Award winner, and Dallas Observer's Best Local Playwright, A Mysterious Way is a story of two men---a youth minister and a drifter. The men strike up an innocent conversation waiting for the same train. But, the encounter between the strangers becomes increasingly uncomfortable as the true intentions of the wayward vagabond are revealed. This dark, poignant drama takes a hard look at faith, evil, and the classic conflict of Man versus God.
