Sandglass Theatre in Residency at CSPS

The Vermont-based Sandglass Theatre is visiting Iowa this week, and they're making CSPS their temporary home. The week will include workshops, a panel discussion, and performances of All Weather Ballads.

"All Weather Ballads is a little like a folk music concert inside a puppet show. The unconventional drama follows one couple, from childhood to old age, as they face the elements of rural Vermont… stuck in the mud, lost in the aroma of harvest fruit, and reflected in the frozen membrane of an icy lake. All Weather Ballads was written for adults but is suitable for ages 12 and up." Performances are Thursday, May 24 at 7:00 and Friday, May 25 at 8:00, at CSPS. Tickets are $14 ($17 at the door).

The company will also be presenting workshops at Eulenspiegel Theatre (Tuesday, May 22 from 6:30 - 8:30) and CSPS (Wednesday, May 23 from 6:30 - 8:30). Registration is $14, which includes admission to a performance of All Weather Ballads (Space is limited to 18 participants).

On Sunday, May 27 at 2:00, company founders Eric Bass and Ines Zeller Bass will lead a panel discussion on the social effects of severe weather.

Legion Arts presents this residency in partnership with the National Performance Network. The National Performance Network is a multi-state group of cultural organizers and artists facilitating the practice and public experience of the performing arts in the United States.
