Shadow Company presents
When Tides Collide
When Tides Collide
The tides start coming and they don't stop coming...
Life has changed a lot since the Reckoning, but some things stay the same: charismatic leaders, sibling rivalry, betrayal, pranks, and a rapidly changing climate that threatens to destroy our way of life as we know it. What else is new?
This year's production is set in a postapocalyptic near future and revolves around themes of groupthink, the ethics of survival, collective memory and collective identity.
From the teen writers: "Being divided as a world has led to neglect of the environment leading to this destruction/disaster. People who have never before thought they could become united have to help each other out in this hard time... leading to complex relationships."

Details:
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.
