MY TURKEY SANDWICH is back on the menu-

My Turkey Sandwich returns to the Rose Wagner Black Box Theatre February 3rd and 4th.  Co-Directors Sarah Donohue and Aaron Wood have created an emotionally charged dance-theatre adaptation of the short story The Yellow Wallpaper, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

Donohue and Wood offer a darkly humorous examination of an isolated woman’s state of reality and the swift changes she makes between sanity and insanity as she restlessly rips through her delicate paper mâché identity. Dancers Laura Blakley, Karin Fenn, Corinne Selena Penka, Natosha Washington, along with actor Gabrielle Gaston represent an 1890’s woman whose diagnosis of hysteria and prescribed rest cure treatment leave her grasping to maintain her ever-dissipating will.

MY TURKEY SANDWICH’s "The Yellow Wallpaper” runs Friday and Saturday, February 3rd and 4th at 7:30 p.m. with a 2:00 p.m. matinee on Saturday. There is a suggested $10 donation at the door. This performance is made possible with support from the Repertory Dance Theatre's LINK Series. All performances take place at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center in Downtown Salt Lake City.
