With the Irish dance world championships just weeks away, Shannon and her brother’s dance careers are on the line. Shannon’s only hope is to train with Ria, the dancer who stole the world title from her last year -- the dancer who’s since crept into Shannon’s every thought. As the girls’ relationship deepens, they’re forced to reckon with their identities, beliefs, and why they even want to dance. Weaving together Celtic folklore, live music, and dance, Natalie Welber’s new dramedy, BANSHEE, wrestles with the monumental question of growing up: who are you going to be, and what are you willing to lose to get there? |

Lady and Lord’s daughter, Jules, is dead, and someone must pay. Except, in Mantua, Jules is alive. (Probably. Sometimes she’s not sure.) Her husband Ro, haunted by kills, isn’t sure he deserves to be alive. Also the earth is heating up and we’re all gonna fucking die anyways so is love enough when you aren’t sure that love exists? A Romeo & Juliet adaptation-of-sorts, Natalie Welber’s biting psychodrama WHEN SHE WENT TO MANTUA tackles the ways we grapple with the ghosts of our past -- before time runs out. |
