About the Show

by Marc Blitzstein; Directed by Christina Baldwin; Puppets by Lizz Windnagel; Music Direction by Marco Real d’Arbelles
Marc Blitzstein's 1937 opera The Cradle Will Rock is a satirical comedy on the corruption of capitalism and corporate greed lined up against people’s rights and the working class of America. AOT’s production will fuse shadow puppetry and live music theater performance to tell this exuberant, funny, and zesty tale of our time.
“Set against the background of the prostitution of another kind -- the sell-out of one’s profession, one’s talents, one’s dignity, and integrity at the hands of big business or the powers that be.” Marc Blitzstein.
Runtime: 90 minutes with no intermission.
Cast: Abilene Olson, Benjamin Dutcher, Corissa Bussian, Gary Briggle, Isa Condo-Olvera, KrisAnne Weiss, Lizz Windnagel, Maurice Fields III, Tony Potts.

About the Show
April 20, 2024
The Aunties is a contemporary storytelling series featuring Native American matriarchs, women in Tribal communities who are leaders, culture bearers and who foster the development of young people and community. Follow the journey of three Indigenous matriarchs of this region who will share their wisdom, humor, challenges and reasons for celebration. The evening of stories will talk about what it means to be Indigenous today.
Storytelling in Native communities is important to maintain connection to the past and also understand the present as a living artform. We pay tribute to our Aunties for all they do for our communities and as the custodians of stories. This evening is an installment in a documentary series, one of many, meant to preserve our Aunties' words for future generations as a lasting cultural resource.
