| Acrobatic Conundrum Threads (Josh Lieberman) |
Through 11/8/25
Acrobatic Conundrum, www.acrobaticconundrum.com
A tangled world, by turns emotive and exhilarating. Rope papers the walls, rope becomes an animate object in the hands of a clown, rope elevates dance-storytelling into the air. Acrobats revel in the messy knot of being connected to each other, pulling their weight, trusting, and putting their lives on the line for each other. Threads is a circus opus featuring seven performers and a musician, an exploration of connection, love, and endings — a story strung with grace and daring that will leave you inspired and curiously alive.

In a world of streamlined efficiency, the employees of OMNIA (Latin for “everything”) convene in the breakroom during their shifts.

When the S.S. Reboot heads out to sea, etiquette and convention head out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love... proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, a comical disguise, and some good old-fashioned blackmail. Songs you may know, of pop and jazz standards, but might not know were from this musical, include "Anything Goes," "You're the Top," "All Through the Night," and "I Get a Kick Out of You."
