The Water Station is a play without words about migrants on a journey in search of
sustenance, safety, stability, love, or meaning. They all encounter a broken tap of
running water, and sometimes each other, in the course of their travels. Where they
are coming from and where they are going is unknown. Each traveler or group of travelers
has a reason for their journey.
Ōta Shōgo was one of the leading contemporary playwrights and directors of Japanese
theatre. He pioneered the “Theatre of Silence.” Our piece will be in conversation
with the Plattsburgh State Art Museum’s fall exhibition: Climate's Shipwreck Ballad
by Robin Lasser and Transmutation Traces by Marguerite Perret.
*This directing project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants
Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support
of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered
by the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts.

Based on the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features
a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people.
Did we mention the bevy of beautiful showgirls? The 2005 Broadway production won three
Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by two successful West End
runs. The outrageous, uproarious and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur
and the Lady of the Lake will delight audiences as they search for the Holy Grail
and “always look on the bright side of life.” (Theatrical Rights Worldwide)
