We are going to be having an Open Rehearsal on Saturday, December 18 at 1:30. Come and see Forest in its entirety (sans lights and costumes)! We'll have a discussion afterward about the piece, the company, the tour, what's next. Location TBA - but either in Cambridge or Allston. Come and bring a friend!

We're on the cover of the November issue of Abhinaya Monthly, a Telegu magazine out of Hyderabad, which is the biggest monthly theater magazine in India! This is only the beginning... :)

Hi everyone!
Thank you to all our backers so far! We're at the top of popularity in the dance section. I confess I don't really know how that's calculated, but it can't be bad! Keep sending it out, sharing it on facebook, email, twitter, whatever.

Here's the t-shirt design. If you haven't asked for that reward, it's not too late! And new backers... think about it.... These are limited edition - only for backers. We'll make another set for the general public.

Coming soon... rehearsal videos of the newly re-worked "roly polies" transition, and a new end of "pixies" - "fireworks."
-Wendy and ANIKAI
