One storyteller, five Bluegrass musicians, and six puppeteers recount the FupDuck tale of:
A cantankerous octogenarian named Jake,
his hulking grandson, Tiny,
their ornery pet duck, Fup,
and a crafty wild boar (who may or may not be) the reincarnation of
Grandaddy Jake’s old Indian friend, Seven Moons Johnny.
Witty, raunchy, and full of transcendent charm, this tale will captivate audiences ages twelve to one-hundred-and-twelve.
Adapted and crafted by Caroline Reck
Featuring Temple Crocker, Ben King, Sarah Lloyd, Julia M. Smith, Susan Stroupe, and the Bald Mountain Band.

In the last century alone, Spain has seen a Civil War, dictatorship, transition to a parliamentary monarchy, and the recent creation of a new constitution. The transition to a democracy in the last few decades has created a surge in new theatre movements by new playwrights, putting major cities like Madrid and Barcelona on par with international theatre capitals like New York. Spanish theatre is more than just Lorca.
As the focus of his final project, MFA student David Gregory is undertaking the first English translation and production of Los Engranajes by contemporary Spanish playwright Raul Hernandez Garrido. Los Engranajes is loosely based on the true story of a couple accused of a heinous crime and the series of events, relationships, and disturbing history that led to those unspeakable acts.
David will work closely with Madrid-based Raul Hernandez Garrido, an acclaimed Spanish playwright, TV producer, and film director. He won the Calderon de la Barca Prize in 1994 for his play Los Malditos, the Lope de Vega Prize in 1997 for his play Los Engranajes, and the Born Theatre Prize in 2000 for his play Si Un Dia Me Olvidaras. He wrote and directed the films Escuadra Hacia La Muerte (TVE 2006) and recently premiered Antes De Morir Piensa En Mi (2008) in major cities across Spain, based from the play that will premier at Towson.
