LIT MOON THEATER COMPANY PRESENTS
THE WEDDING
A Matrimonial Musical Fantasy

The Wedding is Lit Moon's newest piece for the theater, which premiered at Teatr Modjeska's International Festival “The City” in Legnica, Poland last September.  In a drastic departure for the company, the piece is a musical fantasy, featuring music by James Connolly and Anna Abbey, and lyrics by members of the company.  The show is infused by an infectious pop music sensibility and features an eclectic array of musical styles - from pop anthems to bossa nova, from country-tinged ballads to driving rock.  The show's irresistible music and lyrics, and charming comic style, combine to show a side of Lit Moon never before seen by local audiences.

The Wedding features Erin Brehm, Stan Hoffman, Victoria Finlayson, Kate Paulsen, and the aforementioned Abbey and Connolly.  Yevgenia Nayberg is the costume designer, Ted Dolas is the lighting designer, and John Blondell directors.

MISA KELLY, KERSTIN STUART, AND LOUIE CORNEJO PRESENT
3 CITIES:
3 CHOREOGRAPHERS

Athleticism, the brink of emotional zaniness, humor, & a truckload of integrity. Join us for an evening of evocative contemporary dance exchange. These three choreographers--Misa Kelly, Kerstin Stuart, and Louie Cornejo--from three cities--Santa Barbara, Monterey, and Los Angeles, respectively--share the bill presenting works-in-progress, repertory, and world premieres of new works. The beginning of a new initiative with international implications, a portion of the show will be presented in Istanbul and a cross-cultural exchange established. Sponsored in part by the Future Traditions Foundation, this show represents the opening of new geographic collaborations and the cross-pollination of artistic visions.
