One Song Productions Presents: Language of Angels by Naomi Iiuzka
After a girl disappears in the cave country of North Carolina, the fates of those who knew her are forever transformed. This haunting tale blends the styles of storytelling found in Japanese Noh theatre and American ghost stories to question the potential impact of one event and the true depth of the human connection.

Rus Hames Presents: Comically Challenged
Theater veteran Rus Hames challenges other Triangle-area theater artists to try their hand at stand-up comedy. This (mostly) virgin line up includes Dan Sipp, Jeffery Moore, Steven Warnock, Emily Sharples, Jon Kuczynski, Joe Mancini, and Rus Hames. Growing up in the 1980s with a proliferation of stand-up on TV and comedy veterans in their prime (George Carlin, Billy Crystal, and Eddie Murphy), Rus Hames’ love of comedy has recently been re-stoked by endless hours of listening to interviews with today’s comics on Marc Maron’s podcast “WTF”. Can these Triangle newbies find success without the assistance of playwrights and directors guiding their talents? We shall see, and you should come see too!

With special guest, Lormarev Jones
