windows are portals
between the private and public spaces we occupy,
very different from the doors we use to pass from one to the other.

windows establish boundaries the body should not cross
yet, whether open or closed
windows can be as permeable as air,
windows allow passage

: the scent of a good meal
: the sound of music or an angry voice
: a sleepy head looking for
a gun shot
the garbage truck
: answers to vital questions
is my child my spouse my car my cat still present in my life

what we understand about what is happening in our world
can often be learned through windows
and
frequently depends…
which side of the window are we on?

  • Discover the liminal spaces defined by the windows in our lives.

  • Bring your friends and family. Experience and support the arts by helping us build community and future audience (although we we will also cheerfully take your financial donation.)

6:30 p.m. - The windows open & the performance begins - audience members are welcome to move around during and between monologues, we just ask that conversations are muted to allow your fellow audience members to hear and the actors to be heard.

8:00 p.m. - As Peyps said, “...and so to bed.”
