GUEST ARTIST SERIES
An original solo show created and performed by Madeleine Rowe
February 15 – 24, 2024
About Our Guest Artist Series
In addition to our MainStage productions, Open Eye is deeply committed to curating and presenting a dynamic Guest Artist Series that highlights emerging local artists and innovative performing ensembles who tell stories in ways that are fresh, fun, and experimental.
HOUSE FOR SALE: This one-of-a-kind potential dream home located in picturesque suburbia has it all – functioning kitchen, yard, attic, half bathrooms, endless basement, dodgy plumbing, and some secrets hidden under the floorboards. It may also be haunted, but who doesn’t love a fixer-upper with spirit? Come join us for the open house! Put in a bid and let’s make this house a home!
Open Eye is thrilled to welcome Madeleine Rowe as part of our 2024 Guest Artist Series, performing an original solo show that combines comic clowning, inspired physical theater and clever writing that takes audiences on a guided tour of the metaphorical houses we inhabit.
