With the help of Advisor Dan Christopher and some great young volunteers, esp. Nikki Johnson and Max Schneider, we are close to completing the post-production of our music video and other digital assets from the 7/13 event. We are also revamping both websites (www.firstmondays.com and www.icanstilldothat.org).

Our industry expert and Advisor, Jack Young, of jackyoung.com, will be doing another wonderful (and FREE) webinar on August 4th from 8-9 PM. Please see advisor announcements for details.

Advisor Announcements
Another great FREE webinar on
The 50 Greatest Ladies and Gentlemen
by The Missoula Oblongata
&
The 50 Greatest Ladies and Gentlemen
by Performance Thanatology
Two groups on the same bill with the same title for their different plays.
The Ontological Theater At St. Mark’s Church
July 23-25th and July 29-Aug 1. 8pm
Tickets: General $17/Student $12
Yes, a double bill.
The Missoula Oblongata‘s The 50 Greatest Ladies and Gentlemen
takes place just after the Treaty of Versailles. A veteran who is
genetically predisposed to cowardice searches for his brother from whom he’s received a mysterious letter. When the veteran comes upon the town from whence the letter came, he finds that his brother (and the rest of the town) have been caught in a dance mania—a hysterical mass tarantism. With no one else around, the veteran befriends a spider—likely the one who is responsible for the tarantism, and together, they go up against the town doctor who believes that breakfast is beneath love.
The 50 Greatest Ladies and Gentlemen will complete a two-month national tour for The Missoula Oblongata, including stops at Artscape (Baltimore), Bread & Puppet Theatre
(Vermont), Bedlam Theatre (Minneapolis) and Idiom Theatre (Bellingham, WA).
For more information about The Missoula Oblongata please visit: www.themissoulaoblongata.com
Written and performed by Donna Sellinger and Madeline Ffitch, with music written and performed by Travis Sehorn and Charles Leo Gebhardt IV. Directed by Sarah Lowry.
In this installment of Performance Thanatology’s
ongoing research in death and performance, a solitary figure performs all his old songs and dances despite the loss of his partner, the loss of his dancing shoes, and the loss of his teeth. Will his performance partner Jackie Milad (played by Dotty Bilson played by G Lucas Crane) arrive in time to help him perform the daring final act: The Double Whammy (a variation of hugging)?
Somewhere between Krapp’s Last Tape and Artaud’s Spurt of Blood, The 50 Greatest is what really became of vaudeville.
Performance Thanatology
is a group of artists dedicated to the advancement of a higher histrionics brought on by imminent finalities. The work of the group is gone about with great fear. Fear of death and all of its entropically related phenomena motivates the group to present themselves in an
exhibition of interdisciplinary hysterics. For more info on Performance Thanatology: www.ricroyer.com
