Red Eye Theater’s New Works 4 Weeks Festival is well underway. After its Works-In-Progress performances last week, the festival heads into its Isolated Acts performances this weekend with Justin Jones’s Pinhead, a reaction to Bob Fosse’s All That Jazz. This new pseudo-auto-choreo-biography begins Friday, June 13 and runs through Sunday, June 15, with 8 p.m. performances on Friday and Saturday and 7 p.m. Sunday.
From June 19 to June 21, Leah Nelson teams up with Roxane Wallace to present Techni-Colored Blues, a piece that moves and freshly examines identity in a Midwestern culture. Performances are at 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
The festival closes with a triple bill: Jules Weiland and Janelle Ranek’s C-Sick, Becca Barniskis’s The Queensberry Rules and Tisch Jones’s Up Against the World. The three pieces, which run June 26 – 28 at 8 p.m. nightly, explore varied topics like coping with Hepatitis C, boxing rules as metaphor, and life in the inner city.
Tickets are $15 for Friday and Saturday shows and $12 for Thursday and Sunday shows. $8 tickets are available for students and seniors with a valid ID. Tickets can be ordered online at www.redeyetheater.org or by calling (612) 870-0309.
