The World Premiere of “Machine”
A Fire Opera

January 11-14 and 17-21, 2012

Conceived and staged by Mark Streshinsky specifically for The Crucible’s performance space and capabilities, this original fire opera is based on a sci-fi short story by Derek J. Goodman, with original score by Clark Suprynowicz.
Produced by Michael Sturtz. Machine brings the art form of opera into the world of a futuristic factory where enslaved workers create an environment of sound and tell a new kind of story. It features five opera singers and one rock and roll singer, a small orchestra with industrial percussion, and a musical Tesla coil.

The World Premiere of “A Space Oddity”
A Fire Ballet
2013™

January 9-12 & 16-19, 2013

A campy sci-fi comedy conceived and directed by Michael Sturtz, Space Oddity will make you laugh out loud and gasp in amazement. Combining the usual unusual pyro effects with the best of SF’s circus arts and ballet dancers, it will also include some wild surprise stunts. The original script will be a raucous journey through all your favorite sci-fi classics while poking fun at contemporary sexual politics and politicians. Building on the same startling genre-bending combos that made Firebird and Dracul so memorable, Space Oddity will also feature a never-before-seen ballet pas-de-deux and even more awesome industrial arts effects. So hold on to your bubble helmets folks, this one is worth the wait.
