It’s Dark Outside
An epic Western tale about dementia and redemption, told through puppets, mask, animation and performance.

An old man, who strangely resembles the gramps in Up wanders through a forest on the run from a mysterious tracker hell bent on hunting him down. Swept into a surreal world, lost yet learning, he wanders, possibly in search of Xanax, but probably in hope of light.

Through puppetry, animation, masks, and beautiful live performance, this grand stage exploration delivers an epic western-style tale about dementia and redemption, through sincere theatrical tones.
