If a farmer fills his barn with grain, he gets mice.
If he leaves it empty, he gets actors. ~Walter Scott
APL Artistic Associate Annie Paladino is performing in Blood Ensemble’s Barn Show, which opens next weekend. The immersive, ensemble-generated piece is set in and around a turn-of-the-century barn in Marysville. Dinner is included in the event. Ticket options are priced for driving yourself or getting a ride on the show bus.
It promises to be more than mere entertainment. The rest of Akropolis is going to the July 12 performance.
