Peter S. Beagle’s timeless fairy tale: The Last Unicorn, brought to life on stage with puppetry, dance, original music, and full cast. Follow the last unicorn accompanied by Schmendrick the magician and world-weary Molly Grue as they travel to King Haggard’s desolate castle to free the unicorns trapped by the Red Bull.
Adapted from the original 1968 novel by an award winning mother daughter duo, this play is a love letter to nostalgia and the answer to the question: How do we grow older without losing our sense of wonder?

Everything is Fragile

“Everything is Fragile” will be a series of cyanotypes combining film negatives, digital negatives, botanicals, and objects exploring fragility, permanence, and the ephemeral. The exhibit will include finished pieces on art paper, found papers like book pages and sheet music, and material like muslin and canvas. The intention of the project is to invite questions about fragility. Can we as people be empowered, rather than frightened, at the idea that nothing is permanent? What are some things that could have been fleeting but have stayed with you, physically or mentally? What truly matters if “nothing matters”?
