Video production by Aleks Martray.

CONES is a solo show about vampires, vision loss, and ice cream. A blindfolded boy spills secrets about bright lights, bad cartoons, and learning how to be a vampire. But when a team of eye doctors, gym coaches, powerful sorcerers, and potential mates try to pry his eyes open, what will he see? The answer may be in the ice cream. And the ice cream will certainly be served in CONES.

CONES is written, designed and performed by Morgan FitzPatrick Andrews, co-created and  directed by Mason Rosenthal. Jenna Spitz is the project's primary photographer. The show debuted at Philadelphia's 2015 SoLow Festival and is currently available for tour.

ONE WAY RED

Created, conceived, and performed by Dani Solomon
Co-created and directed by Mason Rosenthal

Philly Fringe Festival edition features solo acts by Paloma Irizarry, Monica Wiles, Jensen Titus Lavallee, Kevin Meehan, and Eppchez!

Design direction by Morgan FitzPatrick Andrews
Cotsumes and special effects by Rebecca Kanach
With installations by Rachel Adler, Eli Avenue, Alex Binder, Taryn Jones, Gwendolyn Rooker, and Suzy Varin

A young woman applies for a seat on the first ever rocket to Mars. If accepted, she'll take the one-way ticket in hopes of establishing a colony on the Red Planet. While the whole world is watching, half of it is laughing at the project's logistic, scientific, and sociopathic flaws. Meanwhile our hero insists that this one-way mission is neither folly nor fantasy, but the next great phase for humanity, and that she has the right stuff to lead our race to the stars. Is it ignorance, stubbornness, or want of attention that propels her? Or perhaps the pull of those same heart strings that have always spurred stargazers and scientists to leap into the unknown? 

ONE WAY RED is Dani Solomon's one-woman show based on the project proposed by Mars One to send civilian applicants on a one-way mission to Mars. A short version of the piece debuted at the 2016 SoLow Festival. This new iteration, directed by Mason Rosenthal, features a series of immersive 5-minute installation performances designed for the studios of the Panorama Artists Collective in Southwest Philly.

"Dani Solomon’s ONE WAY RED, a 40-minute sojourn to Mars, is inspired by testimonials from folks who are seriously vying for a one way ticket to go to the red planet. Solomon’s beautifully expressive tale begins with the business of prioritizing what to pack for space, as she relates her character’s historical sense of destiny towards that 'planet of superlatives' with endearing enthusiasm. Moments of comedy and music make the surreal decision to travel so far away, forever, all the more poignant." —Phindie

This project was made possible by funding from Project Stream, a grant initiative of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts that is regionally administered by the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance.

Meet the Mediums is an impossible comedy about a family of fortune-tellers, time-wrinklers and spiritualists, or—more accurately—mediums, who live an eccentric life in the tumultuous 1930s.  There’s Ms. McMedium, a savvy suffragette who channels her clairvoyant abilities from ordinary newspapers; her husband, Mr. Medium, a quarterback savant that’s unaware of what’s going on at the present moment but always knows what will happen 20 seconds into the future; The Medium Sisters, twin philosopher musicians who speak with the spirits but haven’t spoken to each other in 17 years; and then there’s Junior, that feckless weak-chinned boy—will he ever amount to anything besides his constant sniveling and skulking?  Perhaps he just needs some rousing words from President Roosevelt…or maybe a girlfriend.  But what will happen when a guitar-toting stranger’s car breaks down near the Medium Mansion?  Or when the professor of paranormality pops in to play the ukulele?  Or when a mysterious voice inside your head warns you not to move the chewing gum from its hiding place beneath the divan—you’d better do what it says, hadn’t you?  These questions, and so many more, shall be asked—and maybe even answered—in Meet the Mediums.

Starring Morgan FitzPatrick Andrews, Dorie Byrne, Sarah Gladwin Camp, Dana Haberern, Kimya Imani Jackson, Mason Rosenthal and Travis Sehorn. Production and stage management by Amy Capomacchio, costumes by Rebecca Kanach, music direction by Dorie Byrne. Written and directed by Morgan FitzPatrick Andrews and the Mediums with production help from Amy Hufnagel.

Meet the Mediums premiered at Rutherfurd Hall in March of 2013. An excerpt was featured in May of 2013 at Goddard College's Alternative Media Conference.

Current status: Being reimagined as a musical.

An eccentric preacher, a star-gazing lawyer, a mysterious servant girl, and some wayward wildlife are the stars of The Sea of Tranquility, a play set across many centuries of New Jersey’s folkloric history and performed for the grand rooms of Rutherfurd Hall. When the audience steps through the doors, we all become ghosts in a place where day and night, springtime and autumn, the 1940s and the 1490s all happen at once. A cast of musicians, dancers and theater-makers use antique modes of storytelling, such as the newspaper column, the radio drama, the illustrated scientific lecture and yes, live theater, to unveil tales from obtuse angles. The Sea of Tranquility is a play where walls have ears, panthers speak their minds, and young women defy gravity to take us beyond the stratosphere and dance softly upon the surface of the moon.

Starring Morgan FitzPatrick Andrews, Sarah Gladwin Camp, Stephen Dahmer, Dana Haberern, Daniel McNamara, Mason Rosenthal and Alie Vidich. Written and directed by Morgan FitzPatrick Andrews and the Mediums, with production support from Amy Hufnagel.

Premiered at Rutherfurd Hall in March of 2012. Excerpts have since appeared at the Bread & Puppet Theater, Great Small Works' International Toy Theater Festival and elsewhere.

Current status: Available for remount.

The Hall of Haunts is the Mediums' October collaboration with Rutherfurd Hall. Every autumn we devise a series of short interactive solo and duo performances, each based on historic or folkloric figures. Part haunted house, part poly-sensory psychodrama, the Hall of Haunts takes groups of 20 people through the mansion every 20 minutes on the weekend before Halloween.

Current status: Available for commission. Individual pieces have been performed elsewhere in NJ and Philadelphia.
