You've got a show. We've got a space. Let's talk.

TRESPASS is Future Tenant's performance residency series, which allows performance groups of all genres to spend a week at FT developing, rehearsing, and performing their original work at no cost. Applications are solicited periodically throughout the year, and applicants are interviewed to further discuss their projects. Selected residents are provided with staff support, marketing, technical assistance, and a 50/50 split of the box office proceeds from their performances.

Applications are solicited in late winter for spring residencies, and late spring for summer residencies.

Trespass Week 2: March 8 - 14

String of Pearls

conceived by artist Frank Ferraro

showtimes are:
Friday, March 12th 12th 8pm,
Saturday, March 13th (two shows) 7pm and 9pm.

String Of Pearls is a multi-media performance work that features video and dance. It was conceived and written by artist Frank Ferraro, (gravity + grace). Mr. Ferraro has again teamed up with choreographer / dancer, Jamie Erin Murphy (gravity + grace), who is the co-director of the work.

Mr Ferraro’s work suggests that life is made up of moments that collect over time. These moments are obsessed over and rendered in our permanent memory and these moments, whether good or bad, belong to those who make them their own. "We wear them and they make us who we are, they are not just markers of time, they are valued like a String Of Pearls," says Ferraro

Ferraro and Murphy will present a non-narrative 30 minute performance that will add new visual and aural moments to your collection. The performance also features dancer Renee Smith, actor Mark Tierno, original music by Frank Ferraro, John Vento and Scotty Grill. It is presented by JAF Productions.

Proceeds benefit the Parkinson's Foundation of Western Pennsylvania.

Trespass Week 2: March 15 - 21

Spoon River

conceived Cassie Brehmer

SHOWTIMES: March 19th and 20th at 8pm and 10pm each evening.

"Spoon River, A New Adaptation" is a theatrical exhibit that will allow it's viewers a brief exploration of death and pose the question: what is life? Through messages voiced by dead and living, and the use of Edgar Lee Master's poetry, the audience finds itself surrounded by tormented spirits and living souls alike."
