Shadow Company presents
Keep the Alien Fed
Keep the Alien Fed
Awakened, disoriented and confused by the blaring alarm sounds that filled the room, the humans could only think of one thing: The Chosen One. Thoughts of the Chosen One fill the room with overwhelming confusion, suffocating everyone into violence, crying, and praying. In a world where worship is your sole purpose, humans find themselves battling between uncovering the truth or devoting themselves to the Preparation.
The Truman Show meets Squid games in this haunting youth-led look at cults, the unknown and the price of devotion.

Weekend #2
A performing arts company made of high school students, Shadow Company members learn about all aspects of the theater-making process, including on and offstage roles. . With an ensemble-based methodology, they work with a director and professional artists to build their skills as artists, collaborators, leaders, and citizens. Each year, Shadow Company collaboratively devises an original work of theater using a blend of techniques, including: creative co-writing, improvisation, collage-making, structured discussion, workshop performances, playlist-making, and freewheeling “try it!”-style rehearsals.
