The ir twin prayers thin the veil that separates space and time\\, pulling th em together on a years-long journey to help each other break free of anci ent cycles of violence. THE LAUGH OF THE MEDUSA is a trans coming-of-age musical with a folk-rock score that speaks urgently to the power of artis ts to forge the path to a better world.\\nTHE RUMSPRINGA PROJECT\\nConcei ved &\\; Directed by Machel Ross\\nMusic &\\; Lyrics by Nina Ross a nd Ellen Winter\\nBook by Bubba Weiler\\nA music-theatre kaleidoscope of queer coming-of-age stories in America inspired by the Amish tradition\\, “Rumspringa”. Known colloquially as ‘jumping the fence’\\, it is not only a threshold\\, but also exists as the liminal passage between w orlds. It culminates in the young person’s choice to return to their co mmunity (and ultimately get married) or to remain in the secular sphere\\ , lnowing\\, no matter the choice\\, there is no going back to before you crossed the fence. The Rumspringa Project was conceived by Machel Ross\\ , with book by Bubba Weiler\\, music by Ellen Winter and Nina Ross\\, and additional collaboration from Sekai Abeni and Tony Nominee Ellenore Scot t. It’s been developed at Mercury Store\\, Berkeley Rep Ground Floor\\, and through the Joe’s Pub Working Group.\\nFESTIVAL SCHEDULE\\nTuesday \\, September 8 at 7PM\\nTHE LAUGH OF THE MEDUSA\\nWednesday\\, September 9 at 7PM\\nTHE RUMSPRINGA PROJECT\\nThursday\\, September 10 at 7PM\\nTH E RUMSPRINGA PROJECT\\nFriday\\, September 11 at 7PM\\nTHE LAUGH OF THE M EDUSA\\nSaturday\\, September 12 at 2:30PM\\nTHE LAUGH OF THE MEDUSA\\nSa turday\\, September 12 at 7PM\\nTHE RUMSPRINGA PROJECT\\nSunday September 13 at 2:30PM\\nTHE RUMSPRINGA PROJECT\\nSunday\\, September 13 at 7M\\nT HE LAUGH OF THE MEDUSA\\nSpecial Thanks to Peter Mills Weiss\\, Lydia Mok dessi\\, Cameron Stuart\\, Micah Bucey\\, Issac Bush\\, Robin Margolis\\, and Eamon Goodman\\nThe Brick is a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
