Both Sides Now
A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO JONI MITCHELL
GENERIC THEATRE
June 6 & 7

When the dust settles, Joni Mitchell may stand as the most important and influential female recording artist of the late 20th century. Uncompromising and iconoclastic, Mitchell confounded expectations at every turn; restlessly innovative, her music evolved from deeply-personal folk stylings into pop, jazz, avant-garde and even world music, presaging the multi-cultural experimentation of the 1980s and 1990s by over a decade. Fiercely independent, her work steadfastly resisted the whims of both mainstream audiences and the male-dominated recording industry — while Mitchell's records never sold in the same numbers enjoyed by contemporaries like Carole King, Janis Joplin or Aretha Franklin, none experimented so recklessly with their artistic identities or so bravely explored territory outside of the accepted confines of pop music, resulting in a creative legacy which paved the way for many performers.

Seymour: The Last Fallen Angel
Written by Ashley Christopher Leach
DIRECTED BY J. ANDREW MCNEAL

A provocative one-man performance piece set in the religious American South. Seymour prepares his best friend and confidant - a torn and mutilated sofa named Melba - for the last chance they have at playing church before the sun rises Sunday morning. Seymour unleashes a cacophony of grotesque humor and eerie rants of a world gone mad with God.  But before Seymour can finish the mockery of his past, he must face the one act which has banned him to the attic and continues to plague his conscience with guilt.
