Alternate ROOTS Members Receive Support from
NEFA National Theater Project


Alternate ROOTS would like to acknowledge and congratulate member companies Mondo Bizarro and Teo Castellano's D-Projects on receiving support for their new work through the New England Foundation for the Arts National Theater Project.
 
Mondo Bizarro of New Orleans, LA received support for Cry You One, a celebration of the stories and cultural traditions housed in the vanishing landscape of coastal Louisiana.
 
Teo Castellano's D-Projects will receive support for Fat Boy, a new work engages the topic of American consumerism and waste, juxtaposed against world hunger and poverty.
 
NEFA's National Theater Project (NTP) promotes the creation and touring of exemplary artist-led collaborative, ensemble, and devised theater. Modeled on NEFA's National Dance Project, NTP provides a robust system of support including grants for creation and touring and a network of arts presenters, ensemble theaters, and producing theaters that advocate for national touring of the new works.

Headwaters: Didja Hear?

07/10/2013 - 8:00pm - 07/21/2013 - 2:00pm
Cost: $12-21
What happens when outside forces descend upon a mountain community already struggling to keep itself together? Or when the Feds arrive to change a region’s way of life, ’cause it's the law? What happens when people can’t hear, or simply refuse to hear one another because of their tradition of cussed independence? What happens when people really do listen? Find out in July 2013, when Headwaters: Didja Hear? – the acclaimed community story performance created by and about the people of a goodly portion of beautiful Northeast Georgia – returns to the Sautee Nacoochee Center for 10 performances. Written by Jerry Grillo, Gerard Stropnicky, and an Alternate ROOTS Founding Member, Jo Carson. Produced and directed by Lisa Mount.
