Last night Nicole and I went to Shell Theory at CIC. Its an original musical written by Sarah with music composed by her brother. The show is playful, absurd, dark, at points bleak but also affirming in a weird way. There was dancing, lots of fun props, some wonderful singing, and the most mileage out of the CIC light board to date(i.e. lots of cool tech).
I really enjoy watching narratives that my peers have written, there is something so much more immediate and engaging about watching original content. Outside the predictable or formulaic constraints of improv and sketch there's a chance to see fellow performers in a totally fresh context.
Shell Theory runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm through May 30th. Highly recommended.
