blog intro
We recently announced an MCA Stage season that is filled with up-and-coming artists, intimate performances, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Our Box Office staff are positive that many of these performances will sell out so, before they do, we asked a few staff members and interns which performance(s) they are most looking forward to attending.

The Fever, the latest work by 600 HIGHWAYMEN, tests the limits of individual and collective responsibility, and our willingness to be there for one another. Written and directed by Abigail Browde and Michael Silverstone, the intimate work involves the audience of 75 people who are seated on the stage.

For the first time, the MCA presents Twyla Tharp, one of this century's most acclaimed artists, for the world premiere of Minimalism and Me, an original program created specifically for the MCA. In the program, Tharp recollects the creation of her seminal early works from the period and her experiences while living among major visual artists of the time. A select group of members of Twyla Tharp Dance re-creates excerpts from the works she discusses, illuminating the progression of minimalism in the 1960s and 1970s and the influence the movement had on her choreography.

"Poor People's TV Room" is part of the grand narrative about politics, the body, and place that Okpokwasili is building, gesture by gesture, whisper by whisper, brick by brick.

There’s an ancient, pastoral thrill to this music, which . . . is shaping up to be praise music for the American landscape.
