Theatre NOVA Presents the World Premiere of
Jorge Luis Borges Gives a Lecture on Anatomy
A play with music by Carla Milarch and Michael Riccinto

June 6th-June 29th

I was a young man when I fell into the dream…

In a magical reality, inside a labyrinth, the famed Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges gives a lecture. At first, it seems to be about anatomy, but that notion quickly gives way as he navigates multiple timelines and universes, in search of the loves of his life. Inspired by Borges’ short stories, and featuring his poetry set to music, this dreamlike play takes us into the fantastical world of one of literature’s most outrageous imaginations.

Shows Fridays at 8:00 pm, Saturdays at 3:00 pm and 8:00 pm, Sundays at 2:00 pm

When Sheila and her friends decide to build the ultimate summer fort, they end up attracting the attention of a fancy coyote. Suddenly, they’re zooming through a desert where cacti can talk, howling councils meet, and hilariously strange creatures have the wildest ideas about saving the planet. Will they save the day or just end up in a prickly situation?
