CURRENT WORKSHOP
We are currently revisiting and trying to reconstruct Parts 1 and 2 of APOLLO, which were performed at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in 2005 (under the title Apollo [Part 1]: Lebensraum). At the same time, we are working in actors from Part 3, and getting that part up again.
Our goal is to take stock of how the whole piece works (or doesn't, or could) as we prepare for a run at Portland Center Stage in January.
We will present a very rough staged reading of all 3 parts of Apollo
