One-On-One Theatre Experience Woolgatherings Returns In Run-up To Election

woolgatherings is returning this fall with a series of performances designed for an audience of one. Conceived and written by Pete Danelski and Jordan Clark Halsey, woolgatherings is an investigation into ritualized space, the nature of making connections, and the power of naming ghosts. The piece was originally produced as part of the inaugural Performance Interface Lab in April 2020. Last spring, woolgatherings drew audiences from around the world, including four continents, thirteen US states and Washington, DC.

Leading up to the election, woolgatherings has returned with weekly performances, beginning with five sold out shows (Oct. 2nd - 4th), and more performances announced each week. The show's creators have committed to keeping all tickets Pay What You Can, as well as donating 50% of all ticket sales to a different pro-democracy or progressive cause each week. The next run is set for Oct. 16-18, where half of all proceeds will be donated to Get Mitch or Die Trying -- a progressive fund supporting Senate candidates in 14 races most likely to flip the Senate in November.

"We wanted to keep building on the connections woolgatherings was able to create. While this is a time to fight and to work for a better future, we can't forget to save space for ourselves to step away from the chaos of the current day-to-day." Said Jordan Clark Halsey, one half of the creative team behind woolgatherings.

"We're looking forward to being surprised. The experience of woolgatherings is built around the individual audience member-the physical space they're in, the memories they hold on to", said co-conceiver and writer, Pete Danelski. "It's a living organism. The show is always different because the world and the experiences we carry with us are constantly changing."

woolgatherings will next run Oct. 16-18 (with additional showtimes will be added, based on demand). More performances will be announced weekly, through October. The show is designed for an audience of one and takes place over phone and Zoom. International audiences are welcome. Performances run approximately 25 minutes. All ticket are Pay What You Can.
