Grab a pass and step into a festival-like atmosphere of raw art-in-progress. Entry Point is a platform for artists to develop their work in the early stages of creation, and then share that work with the public in a festival forum. Entry Point activities include staged readings, short excerpts from works-in-progress, guest panel discussions, and facilitated feedback between artists and audience after every showing.

THE OLD MAN AND THE OLD MOON was created by the dynamic PigPen Theatre Company, who toured this hit show throughout the country. An old man has the important job of filling up the moon with liquid light each night. But when his wife is drawn away by a mysterious melody, he must abandon his duties and cross the seas in search of his lost love. Along the way, he contends with apocalyptic storms, civil wars, monsters of the deep, irritable ghosts, and the fiercest obstacle of all: change. This play features actors playing instruments, sound effects created live on stage, and elaborate shadow puppets in an imaginative seafaring epic.
Sometimes you gotta keep f***ing going.
In this hot mess musical, a group of close friends struggles to navigate the tragedies of life. Guided by poor decision-making and maybe too much alcohol, these buddies try anything to find happiness while the ties of friendship fray. This dark musical comedy is a celebration of the not-so-happy ways in which we persevere, grow, and change—whether we want to or not. Cheers!
