Today, The Sky is Falling, Leanne Schmidt and Company’s fourth evening-length work, offers a humorous, peculiar and unusual demonstration of bravery as three individuals put themselves on the line and illustrate what makes their “sky fall.” Poking fun at life’s mini-dramas, this work is composed through a collection of personal tragedies, combining physicality and comedy improvisation techniques. The result is a journey that is rich in metaphor, evokes empathy and is supremely honest. The audience is bound to find candid similarities between themselves and the performers, as the piece reflects what is innately human about us all, diving into the depths of vulnerability with a cast of characters that are equal parts glee and tragedy. This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
