an immersive dance theater production

1968 takes us to Chicago as Yippies, student activists, conscientious objectors, would-be-presidents, poets, musicians, local police, and state troopers collided on the grounds of Grant Park and the streets of Michigan Avenue during the Democratic National Convention in August 1968. This interdisciplinary, multimedia performance investigates the body as both source and site of protest – mining iconic photographs, news media, music, art, actions, and events of 1968 for a deeper understanding of our conflict-ridden, intensely mediated here and now.Read more

A Cabaret for the Soul

Louder Than Words is a one-night-only cabaret featuring the vocal talent of Houston locals David Allen III , Daniel Edwards , and Ronna Mansfield . The three performers will take the audience on a journey of personal stories tied to topics such as love, friendship, loss, and mental health. Audiences can expect to hear music by artists such as Alanis Morisette, Sia, and Ben Rector, and songs from musicals such as Waitress, Dreamgirls , and Tick, Tick… Boom! . The concert will be laid out as if you are in the performer’s living rooms, having a chat about life over a glass of wine or coffee. Attendees will listen to personal stories from each performer, who will then sing a song that they feel conveys their emotions.

The performers are no strangers to The Garden Theatre stage. Audiences will recognize David Allen III from his work as The Narrator in Into The Woods , a performer in White Rabbit Red Rabbit , and a featured singer in Not A Day Goes By . Daniel Edwards has been seen on The Garden Theatre stage in New Beginnings , White Rabbit Red Rabbit , and as Greg McConnell in Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical . Ronna Mansfield has been seen as The Baker’s Wife in Into The Woods , appeared in The Beltfest , and was a featured singer in Not A Day Goes By .Read more
