Excerpts and Investigations: Paradise Now!

Join us for a FREE preview of excerpts from theatre KAPOW’s upcoming June production of Paradise Now! and investigations into how they create performances. Hear from the actors, designers, and the director as they discuss the essential questions for theatre makers and audiences: Why this play? Why now? And how?

This casual evening of sharing and conversation in the Carriage House at Kimball Jenkins in Concord is hosted by New Hampshire Dance Collaborative. NHDC creates immersive, multi-disciplinary opportunities with organizations to provoke discussion, understanding, action and problem solving. Expressive movement—whether in dance or theater—can open minds and provide deeper insight into the human condition.

Margaret Perry’s play brings together a group of women who join a multi-level marketing company promoting a range of essential oils that soothe the myriad of life’s stresses. They smell lovely, but can hopes and dreams really lead to Paradise? This U.S. premiere of Paradise Now! is a funny and raging new play about ambition, exploitation and the search for connection in a fractured world.
