NEW MILFORD, Conn.—Merryall continues its 75th anniversary season with two theatrical performances that expand its storytelling and theater offerings.
On July 11, “Matt & Jeni Are Unprepared” offers an evening of improvised stories in real time, featuring Matthew Dicks (a record 61-time Moth StorySLAM champion) and Jeni Bonaldo (Moth StorySLAM winner). With no script, no rehearsal and no predetermined outcomes, they will transform audience prompts into original stories in the moment.
The result is an unpredictable, hilarious and often moving experience. Audience members play an essential role in providing themes and ultimately in voting to determine the evening’s winner.
On July 18, Janis Brenner presents the critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning “Inheritance: A Litany.” It is an intimate theatrical work that explores family, identity and the legacies passed from one generation to the next. Ms. Brenner’s interpretation of these histories is a personal narrative, dance-opera, non-linear play and comic drama offering audiences a thought-provoking evening that will resonate long after the final curtain.
