ISABELLA UNMASKED
The Legacy of an Italian Renaissance Woman
One Actress, Ten Characters. One Musician, Ten Instruments
In 1589, The Madness of Isabella was a triumph at the De' Medici court in Florence. The protagonist was Isabella Andreini, a poet, a mother and one of the first theater professional female performers. A true Renaissance Woman. This show is a tribute to her and her legacy: all women working in the arts today. Also available in Italian with the title LE BRAVURE DI ISABELLA
Masks Unlimited!
Masks Unlimited! is all about masks. This all-ages program recognizes and celebrates our many selves and shows how masks provide access to diverse experiences. Eric Bornstein and Chiara Durazzini showcase about thirty different original hand-made masks and interact in most of them: animals, emotions, ages, theater styles, and pop culture characters. They also showcase several multicultural mask traditions: African, Japanese, Javanese, Tibetan, European, and Puerto Rican.
This family-friendly program is funny, informative, and entertaining.
