Title:Point turn their hectic gaze toward beginnings and endings
in the palindromic fever dream, Never Odd or Even.
Five isolated human shapes
Pivot through time and space while
Navigating the fantastical beasts,
Dead playwrights,
Confounding mathematicians,
And earnest cowboys
They encounter and become.

Developed by residencies at
Pilot Balloon in Lawrence, Kansas and
HB Studio in New York City.

Title:Point is proud to present
Their phantasmagorical delve
Into the interiors
Of
The

First Floor Studio Residency
 – HB Studio is dedicated to training and practice for the theatre and to the ongoing artistic development of actors, directors, and playwrights. The Studio will, at intervals throughout the year, make workshop performance space available in our First Floor Studio for the development of creative projects that further the training and artistic practices fostered at HB. The Studio is not a producing organization, nor should these presentations be construed as “showcases” or “productions.” Rather, we offer an opportunity for associated artists to collaborate on experimental projects, to be shared among peers and colleagues, for constructive critical feedback and mutual growth.
