Showing in and Weekend 1 and Weekend 2 and Weekend 3
Located at The Annex – 245 State Road, North Adams, MA 01247
2025 Season July 17 – August 3
This solo musical and narrative stage show is a collection of seemingly unrelated stories and anecdotes that swirl and dance with a live musical score created through looped trumpet, clarinet, and drums. From acclaimed Seattle musician and writer Ahamefule J. Oluo (Now I’m Fine; Susan at On the Boards), this dark and humorous, uplifting and bleak, deep and silly work is about trying and failing to find order in chaos.
"As both a speaker and a musician, Ahamefule J. Oluo specializes in mellow anxiety. It’s a smooth but layered style that makes them highly agreeable to listen to and at the same time unexpectedly moving. The concentrated emotional force lurking in their ease of manner sneaks up on you."– The New York Times
