Carburetor: A Ghost Sonata
CARBURETOR: A GHOST SONATA, by Jessica López-Barkl, directed by Nick López
MAY 9 and 10 at 7 PM, Pay What You Can at the Door ($20 Suggested)
Written by Jessica López-Barkl, this original theatre performance with music explores how a neurodiverse person experiences grief, how they see the world, and how they experience love. Exploring the theme of connection between 3 generations of neurodiverse people, the company (many neuro-diverse themselves) have created an award-winning production that was recently seen at the Kennedy Center Festival of American College Theatres.
Jessica López-Barkl has written a dream-like musical play that is an allegory of the neurodiverse person, and the sonata musical form has inspired the structure of the play. Her sensitive and creative presentation of how non-verbal and non-speaking autistics experience the world gives audiences an opportunity to experience this point of view with a unique use of language and non-linear kaleidoscopic storytelling.
Cast: Joe Cólon, Kyra Lee Zanatta, Ayana Banks, and James Faraci
Playwright: Jessica López-Barkl
Jessica is an AEA actor and SDC director, in addition to being a founding member of In Strange Company. She is currently the Professor of Theater and Speech at SUNY Sullivan. She is also a dramaturg, playwright, and designer.

The Road to Damascus
THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS, by Kathy Randels (ArtSpot Productions, New Orleans)
Saturday, May 24 at 7 PM, Pay-What-You-Can ($20 Suggested)
The Road to Damascus (as told by Grandmother to Little Red) is written and performed by Kathy Randels and directed and co-created with Odile Del Giudice. The piece draws upon Randels’ upbringing by two generations of Southern Baptist preachers, and making theatre with incarcerated women at the Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women for 24 years.
The Road to Damascus began as a prayer for the release of Gloria “Mama Glo” Williams, a longtime member of the Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women Drama Club whose 52 years behind bars was the longest sentence served at the prison. From 2019-2022, a “Free Mama Glo” campaign was held with many organizations including ArtSpot Productions to encourage Louisiana’s Governor John Bel Edwards to grant her pardon, which he finally did on January 25, 2022.
The play: Grandmother is an incarcerated woman who tells the story of Saul/Paul’s conversion experience to her granddaughter during prison visits to illuminate the persecutorial nature of the system in which they live. They share stories of encounters with the Wolf and the Huntsman that leave questions as to which of these two figures is predator and which is savior. The play examines the perpetrator/victim/savior dynamic that is present in both stories, in ourselves, and in our national consciousness.
The creative team includes Designers Diane Baas (lighting), Kevin Griffith (set), Steve Gilliland (sound and music) and Shawn Hall (costumes), along with stage manager Tricia Anderson.
Lucy Joseph
LUCY JOSEPH, written and directed by Mimi McGurl
Lucy Joseph is an original performance by Farm Arts Collective based on the life of a 19th century gender non-conforming pioneer Lucy Ann Joseph Israel Lobdell. The performance is written and directed by Mimi McGurl with contributed story and texts from the Farm Arts Collective, author William Klaber, and historical texts by L.A. Lobdell and others. The original musical performance features Jess Beveridge, Doug Rogers, Pam Arnold, John Roth, Samantha Mehlman, Annie Hat & Laura Moran. Dramaturgy by Mark Dunau.
The historical figure at the center of our play is Lucy Ann/Joseph Israel Lobdell, aka The Female Hunter of Long Eddy, who lived in the Delaware River Valley in the mid 1800’s. During Lobdell’s well-documented years, colorful labels were attached to them in newspaper articles, histories, and medical records. Raised as a girl, Lobdell, by 30 years of age, clearly preferred to live their life as a man. Lobdell’s life speaks volumes to the cultural shifts that squeezed through so much religious and political turmoil during the nineteenth century.
Now, nearly two centuries later, there are still powerful and influential people who insist that our genetic markings at birth remain forever the essential truth of who we are. Lobdell’s life stands as a beacon of exactly how much more work still needs to be done for all of us to have the freedom to determine, for ourselves, our own gender identities and our own personal truths.

Dream on the Farm 2025 Paradise Lost: Scavenger Hunt
DREAM ON THE FARM: Paradise Lost: Scavenger Hunt, conceived and directed by Tannis Kowalchuk with Farm Arts Collective
July 24-August 3
Farm Arts Collective’s DREAM ON THE FARM is a cycle of climate change performances produced annually from 2020-2030. The 6th play in the series, Paradise Lost: Scavenger Hunt will premiere July 24 -August 3, 2025 at Farm Arts Collective on Willow Wisp Organic Farm in Damascus, PA.
Inspired by John Milton’s 17th century epic poem Paradise Lost, Farm Arts Collective and director Tannis Kowalchuk take a contemporary ecological spin on the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. The collectively created performance proposes that contemporary humans have also lost their garden of Eden and connection to nature, and that responsibility, new choices, and revolutionary thinking is required to live in our current post-paradise world.
The performance begins in a style of musical Noh Theatre (a form of ancient Japanese theatre) to tell the biblical Genesis story featuring God (Oliver King), Adam (James Sullivan) and Eve (Tannis Kowalchuk). The well-known drama unfolds with original music composed by Doug Rogers using selected Milton’s texts, and performed by a chorus of singers, drummers, and musicians in the roles of angels and devils.
When Adam and Eve are expelled from paradise, the audience is invited to follow the lovers on a SCAVENGER HUNT across the 25-acre farmland of Willow Wisp Organic Farm. They encounter performances, interactive experiences, art installations, and a host of surprises that invite the scavenger hunters to face the impacts that their choices have had on paradise. Questions like: What is your Paradise? What do you fear losing most? Can paradise be re-claimed? are presented and investigated throughout the site-specific theatrical scavenger hunt.

Decompositions
Written and performed by Farm Arts Collective founder, Tannis Kowalchuk, the solo performance explores decomposition as a metaphor for life. Employing her devised theatre practice and life as a farmer, Decompositions is an original song-filled, multimedia performance that digs into birth, death, farming, art, decay (aging) and transformation.
Featuring a compost pile at center stage, the performance begins with excerpts from the Gertrude Stein essay, "Composition as Explanation," providing an entry into the existential monodrama.
In this deeply personal theatrical meditation, Kowalchuk explores the composting process as analogous to the process of her own aging. Kowalchuk’s humorous and poignant stories take audiences on a journey of longing to accept mortality as elegantly as the compost does its transformation.
Written and performed by Tannis Kowalchuk, “Decompositions” is created in collaboration with director Mimi McGurl, songs by Rima Fand, beats and soundscapes by Janhavi Pakrashi, music by the Farm Arts Collective, technical director is Jess Beveridge.

This performance is made possible by the Lackawanna County Arts & Culture Department.
Written and performed by Kowalchuk, the song-filled monologue explores decomposition as a metaphor for life. Featuring a compost pile at center stage, the performance begins with excerpts from the Gertrude Stein essay, "Composition as Explanation," providing an entry into the existential monodrama.
Employing her devised theatre practice and her agrarian life as a farmer, Decompositions is an original song-filled, multimedia performance that digs into birth, death, farming, art, ageing, and transformation.
In this deeply personal theatrical meditation, Kowalchuk explores the composting process as analogous to the process of her own aging-- at one point in the performance, she tosses a “finished” sunflower onto the compost pile and describes the biological composting process which ultimately leads to the creation of humus --a word that shares the Latin root with “human.”
Kowalchuk’s humorous and poignant stories, songs and physical theatre skills, take audiences on a journey of longing to accept mortality as elegantly as the compost does its transformation.
Written and performed by Tannis Kowalchuk, “Decompositions” is created in collaboration with director Mimi McGurl, songs by Rima Fand, beats and soundscapes by Janhavi Pakrashi, music by the Farm Arts Collective, and projections by visual artist Phyllis Lehrer. Technical director is Jess Beveridge.
Decompositions is a production of Farm Arts Collective. It has played at Mondo Bizarro in New Orleans, Wessley College, Bus Stop Theatre Halifax, Nova Scotia, River Clyde Arts PEI, Art Space Bay of Fundy, National Sawdust Williamsburg, NYC, Pontine Theatre in Portsmouth, NH ,Goddard Arts, NYC, Ecological City NYC, The Cooperage in Honesdale, PA, Wunderbarn, Clear Creek Creative in Berea, Kentucky.

The Goddess is a Clown with Clown Daddy
The Goddess is a Clown is a playful, embodied workshop that invites you to step back into your power, pleasure, and sense of play. Through movement, laughter, and a touch of the ridiculous, we'll shake off the weight of seriousness and remember that joy is our birthright. The Goddess within isn’t just wise and powerful - she’s got a wicked sense of humor too!
Led by Clown Daddy, this workshop is a celebration of the divine mischief-maker inside every woman, guiding us back to our bodies, our desires, and the sheer delight of being alive.
DEVISING PHYSICAL THEATRE with Tannis Kowalchuk
What is Devised Theatre?
Devised theatre-making is a unique creative method that invites the performer to be a creator. This results in a process that engages the actors’ imagination, voice, body, writing skills and design concepts. Devised theatre usually does not start from a pre-written script but is created together through a collective rehearsal process. This creates original, moving, and relevant theatre, a direct expression and reflection of the imagination and bodies of a collective of individuals.
Who Should Take This?
Led by Farm Arts Collective’s artistic director, Tannis Kowalchuk, this workshop invites actors, directors, writers, dancers, singers, and designers to explore devised theatre technique that includes, physical-movement theatre, voice work, and text-writing to create original theatre performance. Group and individual exercises will be taught to explore principles of movement, voice and song, and developing a “ready” body and imagination to create theatre. Participants are asked to wear clothes to move in and bring a pen and notebook.
What Will We Do In this Workshop?
Tannis Kowalchuk, she will share her life’s work making theatre with ensembles. In this concise 2 hour workshop, everyone will move physically, sing, write, and develop a short performance piece. The class will start with specific physical exercises that engage the complete body and get the participants moving in the space and interacting with others. (Please wear clothes you can move in). We will explore voice and song together as a group, and then each participant will create an action and write a piece of text led by prompts from the workshop leader (please bring a notebook and pen). The individuals’ material will be montaged into a complete ensemble score, a scene utilizing everyone’s creative material. This portion of the workshop might be of particular interest to directors and writers of theatre.

PLAYWRITING with Melissa Bell and Mark Dunau
This hands-on seminar will be taught by Farm Arts Collective resident playwrights Melissa Bell and Mark Dunau. Students will explore the elements of playwriting, from character, stasis, rising action, recognition to denouement. Through writing exercises and prompts, the class will explore creating dialogue and events, which drive the play forward. They will discuss broader aspects of theme and structure, with a chance to play with ideas, put the pen to paper and see what comes out.
The question will be asked: “What makes a play different from other forms?” Famously, Aristotle gives six elements of drama - plot, character, theme, dialogue, music, and spectacle. But this can be a little overwhelming when looking at a blank page. And not every play incorporates all of these elements, nor do they use Aristotelian structure. So, how does one begin writing a play?
The instructors will give writing prompts and time will be devoted to actual writing and presenting written work. Participants will have an opportunity to get their work up on its feet and read. Participants are encouraged to bring a theme, idea or character you would like to explore.
This class is Pay-What-You-Can and the address of Farm Arts Collective is 38 Hickory Lane, Damascus, PA 18415
