Square One Collective (New York, NY) No Place Square One Collective is an international collective of artists committed to creating compelling, relevant and original works of theatre that respond to stories and issues related to today's globalized world. Their are driven by their curiosity about all things human, our interest in cross-cultural exchange and our hunger for discovering new ways of expression. In No Place, three people play a game...in 2075. In a world where physical existence seems imminently impossible, a political exile, a former radical and a climate refugee go in search of the promised land; a virtual utopia. Alliances are made and broken as personal visions cross and collide in a social experiment that begins to chip away at their identities. Inspired by today's ever-changing cultural, technological and political climate, No Place investigates the human need to survive, to outlast, to exist, asking the question: What happens to us, as humans, when we are in search of a perfect community? https://www.facebook.com/1square1/
ReAct (Richmond, CA) Dracula RE:ACT is composed of alumni from the educational programs of American Conservatory Theatre and other local Bay Area artists.

They ground ourselves in reality, while letting their imaginations roam free. Dracula is a beloved part of our zeitgeist, a story told and retold in print, on stage, and cinematically countless times since its publication in 1897. Inherently theatrical, it is filled with thrilling, chilling, moving, and iconic images and events. RE:ACTs Dracula distills key moments from the novel into singular vignettes incorporating music, dance, movement, text, magic, lipsyncing, shadow puppetry, and film. The piece emphasizes the bravery and intelligence of its female characters, traditionally portrayed as one-dimensional victims.
