Saint John’s Day Gathering – An Evening of Theater
Wednesday June 24th 6pm to 9pm
Featuring:
Saguaro (Excerpt)
By Frank Agrama
Performed by Bride Alona McWilliam, Frank and Zuri Agrama
A scene from Saguaro: a story about a cactus in Eurythmy, Music and Colored Light. This is part of a larger production performed in Los Angeles in March and building towards a tour in the future. You can learn more about the project here.
An Anthropos production:
“Who Am I This Time?”
By Kurt Vonnegut
Performed by Glen Williamson (Member, Actors’ Equity Association).
Kurt Vonnegut’s zany characters will come to life as professional New York actor Glen Williamson performs Who Am I This Time?, a wacky yet moving comedy about a small-town production of A Streetcar Named Desire. Williamson’s portrayal of all the characters (and the characters they play) has been widely acclaimed in performances throughout North America and Europe. This is Vonnegut at his most human and heartwarming. The great American writer’s hyperbolic narrative turns out to be wonderfully theatrical. Learn more about this production here.

The idea for this festival grew out of conversations among friend’s at Frank and Zuri’s wedding on June 22nd, 2024. We are excited to continue growing this celebration of art, love, the earth, and community
