paper chairs kicks off the fall with “Reckonnoiter,” a series dedicated to developing new work.

Using the fall as a time to incubate and explore with a variety of generative practices, paper chairs offers three unique showings of works-in-progress. By sharing works at different stages of development, we aim to take risks in new territories and invite our audiences to participate in our creative process.

Baby Shower
Directed by: Kelli Bland

Poor Herman
Written by: Elizabeth Doss
A new play in development that asks how Herman Melville wrote two epic novels, Moby Dick and Pierre or the Ambiguities, in two short years. Though both were flops in his time, Moby Dick was later championed as a great American novel while even the most devoted scholars continue to shun Pierre. Through play, opera, dance, lecture, and museum tour, Poor Herman will investigate the fallout of Moby Dick and the ever-thin line between utter genius and epic failure.

Nov. 8th – 3pm Ground Floor Theater (lobby) 979 Springdale Rd. 78702
Break The Silence
Directed by: Noel Gaulin
Performed by: Elizabeth Doss, Kelly Hasandras, Spring Karlo, Jorge Sermini, Rebecca Whitehurst.
Incubating for over ten years, from stories over bread to staged readings, from trips overseas to the presentation last fall “My Dad was tortured by a Dictator; I could’ve been a prostitute…” Another chapter in the question – How do past generations find themselves in who we are?
