Every time, we perform RECONSTRUCTING, we learn something new. During our tour to the @hopkinscenter we learned: - how fast time flies in tech when you dance your way through it - the importance of maple syrup - how many Rachel Chavkins it takes to co-direct a show - how smooth a show can be with an abundance of Jessies - the beauty of reunions (shout out to Dr. Deborah King, who we met years ago during our time at Dartmouth and who finally got to watch the show!) - how the curious and hungry the next gen of theatermakers is - how college kids party on a Friday night The pleasure was ours! We had a blast 🩷🎵 @dartmouthcollege @hopkinscenter

North Carolina, you owe us nothing 🩵 RECONSTRUCTING is on the road & we kicked off with our first stop in the South @carolinaperformingarts last month. The TEAM had a timeee, celebrating birthdays, long-awaited reunions & SO much resonance with our audience members. It means the world to us to bring this work to the communities grappling with slavery’s historical lineage—to perform, connect & collectively reimagine our future. It’s another standing O for the books! Next up: RECONSTRUCTING at @hopkinscenter April 2-3, 2026!
