CFF13: THE WAVE

Reviews: Enquirer | CityBeat | Behind the Curtain |

Based on a true story, THE WAVE by Ron Jones, is a narrative about a young 1960’s California history teacher who wanted to deter his students from the allure of totalitarianism. His daring social experiment succeeded beyond his wildest expectations, creating a fascist state on campus. Replete with salutes and Gestapo-like informants, 30 students grew to 200 as this exercise in fascism spiraled out of control. The “experiment” illustrates how individual freedoms can be quickly abandoned and willfully repressed for collective goals and racism as happened in the rise of Nazi Germany and the treatment of the Jews during World War II.

THE SPACE BETWEEN MY HEAD AND MY BODY explores the lives of seven people whose paths collide in flight on an airplane. In the unquantifiable space between departure and arrival, male and female, physical body and identity, we examine what defines each one of them. As the characters weave in and out of different times and space, different flights and even different bodies, they remain connected by the same journey. A journey that is forever pushing forward towards the fate of the passengers, their relationship to one another and their own survival in a sea of lost travellers.

Reviews: Behind the Curtain | CityBeat | Enquirer |

THE ELEPHANT IN MY CLOSET is writer and comedian David Lee Nelson’s madcap dash through the history of the Republican Party and his own political past, as he works up the nerve to tell his staunchly conservative father his worst nightmare has come true: his only son is a Democrat.

A vaudeville style opera about the housing bubble, an opera about Paula Deen, two operas about relationships gone bad, really bad, and all of it gets done in about an hour. It’s a night of unexpected twists in four unexpectedly short American operas.

Meet Kyle and Dylan — two incredibly different men, each struggling with the same set of troubles and quandaries: who am I, and what is my life? Am I brave? Am I happy with what’s happening to me? Or is it just happening? One in his work cubicle and the other in his tiny Hell’s Kitchen studio, existing side by side, they are trapped in separate worlds that never converge except through the telephone wire. The two realize that they’re both facing an overwhelming fear. In this story, Kyle and Dylan find they are able to find counsel in each other — and maybe more.
