THE COWBOY IS DYING by Donnetta Lavinia Grays
STELLA BY STARLIGHT by Heidi Tokheim
SPOILED BEA by Jeanne LaSala
UNTITLED by Andrea Caban



THE FOUR LONE WOLVES

In THE COWBOY IS DYING, Donnetta Lavinia Grays fuses storytelling and original music in a semi-autobiographical tale of self-discovery. Grays' piece is a comedic look at God, romance, and the wondrous limitations of childhood expectations.

STELLA BY STARLIGHT, by Heidi Tokheim, follows the journey of Stella, an aspiring jazz piano player who is female, white, and unemployed. One fateful night, she meets Herbie Hancock, who teaches her how to swing ... and that changes everything.

Through movement and text SPOILED BEA, by Jeanne LaSala, deals with isolation as it forces its way into the life of a dancer who, due to a tragic accident, is no longer able to communicate with the outside world. Rather than succumbing to the horror of her situation, Beatrice finds humorous, poignant and creative ways to connect with the characters that populate her new world and to access the freedom and beauty that dance inside of her.

And ANDREA CABAN's untitled theater piece mixes anthropology and psychotherapy. She investigates the gaps between isolation and connection through interviews with ten New Yorkers and her father.
