THEATRE 29 PRESENTS PROJECT PLAYBOX
OCTOBER 1 - NOVEMBER 20: Project PlayBox provides the theatrical building blocks: visual art, sound, and video. You bring the plays to life. Journey through space, time, and worlds. Citizens of the soon-to-be-lost island of Atlantis protest an unpopular government mandate in Against the Sand. A reluctant gnome on A Shiny Quest embarks on a search for the sparkliest plastic stone. And in Tami's Art of a Guest, a potential partnership is drawn to life through an unexpected gift. Visit www.theater29denver.com for details.
Coming Soon:
A full production of Tami's new play, Riot Confidential, by Mr. Vulfran's Carriage Productions at Theatre 29.
DECEMBER 11-20: Tami's play Freckles & Whiskers will be performed at Benchmark Theatre's Fever Dream Festival: Winter Holiday Special Featuring Colorado Playwrights in Lakewood, Colorado. Read More Here
IN THE PRESS
“
The full effect [of Uncle Rooster], like a children's story gone horribly wrong, is a dystopic cartoon world where things don't quite fit together, where value and morality reveal intrinsic dissonances, and any possibility of a peaceful, just resolution disappears.
LIVING ARTS CHRONICLE
“
On press night, the crowd favorite seemed
to be Tami Canaday's 'Liver for Dinner,' a surreal play that demonstrates the impact of how something is said. It is intriguing.
“
'Santa' [Tells a Story] is an amusing glimpse
at an unsettling urban experience.
