The Baker knits in the breakroom, while the Butcher laments a time gone by. In the cold air pouring from an open freezer case, The Wife and Mother dreams of a life she failed to live. By the dumpster in the alley, the cashier communes with the coyote, vaping and laughing, baring bellies and swapping secrets. Tenderness resides here. Do you, dear theatergoer, currently find yourself disoriented, disassociated, confused as to where to find “reality?” Do you yearn for less screen time, better dreams, and a fresh head of lettuce plucked from the ground? Then these are your people, this is your theatre. In FROZEN SECTION, an intentional community of shoppers and workers reckons with the recent arrival of a trickster coyote and supports their youngest, Sage, as they prepare to move on to a new city, a new life. FROZEN SECTION stars Catastrophic core artists Noel Bowers, Raymond Compton, Jovan Jackson, Rebecca Randall, Jeanne Harris, Jeff Miller, T Lavois Thiebaud, Clarity Welch, and Abraham Zeus Zapata. The production team includes Jason Nodler (director), Ryan McGettigan (set), Hudson Davis (lighting), Leah Smith (costumes), Shawn St. John (sound), Charlie Scott (assistant director), and Scout Sustala (stage manager). ***About Lisa D’Amour*** Lisa D’Amour is a playwright, interdisciplinary artist, and one half of the OBIE-Award winning performance duo PearlDamour.
