Requiem for a Snowflake

Requiem for a Snowflake
Written and performed by Bobby Lee Dartt
Directed by Elizabeth Baron
.
Meet Petey, a simple clown... Now hand him the steering wheel.
.
Bring your Day-Quill as this show drives you through life and death and grandpa school. Requiem for a Snowflake provides the audience with a new physical poetry dedicated to the enrichment of what they already are. Music, storytelling and an all-out, audience-verses-Petey snowball fight. Heart strings will be pulled and funny bones will be banged upon. The child-brain in every adult will be confused and the adult-brain in every child will be confirmed. A subtle confrontation will be held on humanity's behalf too, so watch for that! Petey (Bobby Dartt) quilts you back into the fabric from which you were cut and proceeds to wrap you warmly around the future generation of adorable, bright-eyed childabeasts.

About us:

Bobby Dartt (Writer/Performer) holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music, from Naropa University in Boulder, CO. He uses this degree to co-write musicals only to end up acting in them. Credits include performing in Shadows & Journeys, and writing and performing in the collaboratively created projects: God(s), and Boulder Fringe favorites A Pu-Pu Platter Of Love (2006) and Knighty Night, Manny Panny (2007.) Bobby says: "Theater is a lot of work." And he is right. The fall of 2008 inspired the creation of Lala Theater Company with Liz Baron. This is exciting.


Elizabeth Baron’s (Director) most recent projects include her highly acclaimed production of Aeschylus’ Agamemnon, (LaLa Theater Company, June 2009, Dairy Center) and directing Gemma Wilcox Productions’ 52 PickUp, which won Best of Fest - Boulder Fringe 2008, and went on to successful runs in Austin, Denver, Colorado Springs, and Winnepeg, Canada. She co-starred in A Pu-Pu Platter of Love with Bobby Dartt, teaches red nose theater clown, and becomes part of the permanent Faculty at the Helikos International School of Theater in Florence, Italy, in October 2010.

Requiem for a Snowflake’s workshop production (2008) was written and created by Bobby Dartt, with the coaching of Giovanni Fusetti and the artistic collaboration of ‘the Geniuses’ (Elizabeth Baron, Alan Fessenden, Sarah Liane Foster, and Roman Kosins.)
