THEATER: One Eye Gone reimagines the Godzilla story with puppetry and original music. Playwright Erik Ehn adapts the original 1954 Japanese film to tell a story of characters facing the threat of annihilation by a post-atomic monster. Director and puppeteer Katie Shook creates a world that evokes both nostalgia for '50s and '60s era pop-kitsch and futurism. Four doll-sized puppet heroes struggle to understand and resist a man-sized monster in a story that is also an allegory for society's fears about unpredictable changes in both our environment and in our own psyches. The production itself seeks to be environmentally sustainable by using recycled and "green" materials.

One Eye Gone is not recommended for children under the age of ten.
