2016/17 season details coming soon!
I Confess 5 is a devised theater production inspired by Tennessee Williams’s play, Confessional. First produced in New York City by actor, producer, director & writer Hurricane Alaina, it’s coming to The Studios of Key West April 13-15.
How you can be a part of the show…
I Confess 5 is an amalgamation of secrets and confessions submitted anonymously into a portal. The confessions are screened, selected, edited and artfully assembled into a 75-minute play by Hurricane Alaina. They will be read by five actors in April on the Helmerich Stage in unexpected and captivating ways.
We’re looking for your secrets!
Revealing and releasing truth goes back to the ancient practice of catharsis, the cleansing of emotion and restoration of the spirit. In I Confess 5, YOU are the playwright and only YOU will know your own secret.
About the creator Hurricane Alaina has been a guest actor here in Key West appearing at The Studios of Key West in Tennessee Williams’s plays Green Eyes, Kingdom of Earth and Lifeboat Drill. While she was here she started to navigate the unique Key West sensibility and knew there were secrets to be told. She wanted to devise an edition that was a collaboration of Key Westers into this experimental work that examines and records the island’s confessions, then grants the island community an opportunity to hear them.
With one of the tallest buildings – and most spectacular views – in town, the Hugh’s View rooftop terrace serves as The Studios’ creative space in the sky. The terrace sits four stories above street level and offers panoramic views of the island. The Kitwald Stage glows in the golden twilight of our sunset performances.
With original seating from its days as a Masonic temple, the Helmerich Theater has been updated to also include floor seating. As a black box theater, the set up is intimate but professional, and sets the stage for concerts and performances that leave guests feeling like they really got to know the performer.
