Now What

NOW WHAT?


World Premiere: December 5 - 21, 1996
In the spirit of Nichols and May, ATJT Founding Member Corey Fischer and guest artist Nina Wise weave the day’s headlines, their personal lives, the collective unconscious and the inspiration of the moment into a series of high-risk, unscripted, completely improvised performances. A kinesthetic, verbally charged flight into the unpredictable.

Directed by David Dower (Director of the Z Studio)

Nina was last seen by ATJT audiences in her production of What to Call Home, a theatrical salon, presented at the Magic Theatre in 1994.

In celebration of the “festival of lights,” ATJT invites the community to join us in lighting the hanukkah candles for the first three performances (Dec. 5-7).

LIKE A MOTHER BEAR

LIKE A MOTHER BEAR
World Premiere: Runs Through November 17, 1996

Searching for healing, a woman fights her way through a maze of doctors, nutritionists, psychics and even an Elvis-impersonating acupuncturist to finally discover the great “Bear Mother” of the imagination. To her own amazement, she finds herself traveling from the bear den of dreams to the Alaskan tundra where she meets the very real bear of the endangered North American Wilderness. In this groundbreaking work by A Traveling Jewish Theatre member Helen Stoltzfus, the possibility of healing lies only in linking the mythic, personal, and natural worlds.
