Saturday, August 1 was surprising: the fog and gray lifted, and a full summer sun beat down on the granite flat top of our quarry stage. This was the first day all components of the new show OHA is producing, Quarryography 2: Habitat, were together: the professional dance ensemble, the community ensemble, the heavy equipment operators, the steel pan band. Together, they were working out a completely new and surprising "story at the quarry:" one full of drama and suspense (what will happen in the encounter between the excavator, in residence to build someone's "dream home" on site, and the Big Mama Porcupine and her babies?); 
surprise (how does Rick's excavator always become so anthropomorphic?); and humor (dream house as jungle gym). It's all happening, it's all in process--and you can become part of that process when you attend the work-in-development productions this weekend, August 7-9, at the Settlement Quarry. Advance tickets are necessary and parking is very limited. You can buy your tix online, and download a map, at http://www.operahousearts.org/; or call 207-367-2788 and order from our box office.
