Dummy: A Display
By Open Eye Figure Theatre
Open Eye Figure Theatre proudly presents a new work by artistic director Michael Sommers. Performing with Mr. Sommers is special guest artist, founding artistic director of Theatre de la Jeune Lune, Robert Rosen, and a recent Open Eye favorite Elise Langer. Sommers has taken his inspiration for Dummy from the world of late 1950’s—early 1960’s children’s television programming, and its influences of burlesque, parlor tricks, gags, and carnival games.
