2 September, 2010 THE CRAM
It’s officially official. The Cram has had its first meeting, with lots of sangria and new pages, and now we are a writer’s group. Or an 80s girl rock band. Or the early 90s cast of something important, in which I play a troubled teen.
Ok so really we’re just a writer’s group.
Don’t mess with THE CRAM.

M’S ORPHANAGE was performed at Reed College as Euphrates Dahout’s thesis production.
“A Dance-Theatre Thesis by Alexandra Euphrates Dahout, written by Kate Tarker.
Based on the gruesome tales of Struwwelpeter, the story is about five orphans, forced to pretend that every day is Christmas, hoping that Santa will bring them parents. But for the past several years, they’ve got nothing but coal. They must be bad children… at least that’s what the borderline-evil Miss M brainwashes them to think. The orphanage is a house of torment for these children, and the worst is yet to come. This non-proscenium performance will transform the Student Union into the environment of the characters. Through compelling choreography and performance, the story will unfold and suck you in.”
