CrookieCookie

Next up was our first solo show at the Artwell Gallery!

Looking to blend the Arts together,  The DTC presented an evening of Music, Theatre and Photography!  With Special Guest yummies by the Rocket Fine Street Food gang!  The Rocket parked outside and a line immediately formed!  Artwell’s “Shooting from Your Third Eye” Photography exhibit was on display.  The seats in the gallery filled up with standing room in the back.  The Sawtelles began the evening with their own special blend of “Nerve Rock”.  Followed up by the world Premiere of Mike Verna‘s “CrookieCookie”, a play about Mind Powers, based on the short film of the same name.  After that the audience was treated to a performance by Jamal Ford-Bey.

Another successful evening for all in the books!Crookie Cookie - The Desultory Theatre Club

Jumper

So our First show took place as the entertainment for the Artwell Gallery‘s opening of their “Objects of Desire” exhibit.  Our First piece was a play called “Jumper” by Matthew Doyle.  A 12-minute play stuffed in the middle of a two-hour event.  The story of a man who has lost everything and one day debates jumping off a building.  That is until a pigeon strikes up a most unique conversation.  The Place was packed and The Desultory Theatre Club was off to a great start!
