On the Verge,
or The Geography of Yearning
By Eric Overmyer
Featuring Artistic Associate Greg Matthew Anderson
Presented May 15 — June 1, 2008
Brave, willing, and yearning to see it all, three women explorers enthusiastically begin their trek to Terra Incognita in 1888, only to discover that they are adrift in time. Overmyer crafts a linguistic labyrinth for his heroines as they navigate through uncharted territory populated with pop culture and possibility.
Reviews
"...Remy Bumppo's hands, [On The Verge] proves an affirming, literate take on the nature of time and life's possibilities ... (James) Bohnen shapes it with an uncommonly light, whimsical touch ... The performances are uniformly radiant... but the ensemble standout is (Gregory Matthew) Anderson, who elevates the energy of the room each time he steps on stage. Each of his many characters is precisely drawn; it's a ball to watch the guy work."
