IMAGINATION'S CANVAS: LIFE MANIFESTED IN LOVE
By Francis Lansang w/ Visual Artist Paolo Salazar
A presentation of Life as Art, this one-act explores parallel paths and how life's synchronicity combined with technology can bridge worlds to reveal greater meaning. This multi-media story offers an exciting blend of performance and painting, drawing from a life-long friendship between two artists. Explore how our relationships make up triumph and tribulation and how our experiences unfold into moments to be captured.

I HEART LOLA: PART 2
By Nicole Maxali
In this new installation of "I Heart Lola", Nicole realizes that life with grandma is suddenly not the same... for Nicole and for her grandma. Through the struggles and choices that her family must face, Nicole captures the impact of losing a beloved "lola" (lola is the Filipino word for Grandma) to Alzheimer's. This performance is a never-before-seen excerpt from Nicole's Full-length show, "I Heart Lola" to premiere in Summer 2011.

"Nicole's show is funny, heartfelt, then funny again. I've never seen a solo show done like that before." -- Dave Chappelle
