The Department of Small Things introduces an Auditor assigned to close down offices of unimportant activities. What he discovers is a labyrinth of music, movement, humor, and many, many small, but significant things that leave him awestruck and humbled by the interconnectedness of the world we share. This new work is written and composed by company artist Liz Filios – who audiences may remember as Wendy in Peter Panto, or as the composer of Twelfth Night – and comes to life with enchanting shadow-play and theatre magic.

45-minute performance and discussion
Following the success of our touring pieces about Bayard Rustin and Caroline Still Anderson, a brand-new work introduces another trailblazing local hero hidden in the shadows of history. Anandibai Joshee traveled to Philadelphia to study at The Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, and was the first South Asian woman to graduate as a doctor — in 1886, when it was rare for girls in India to even learn to read and write. Philadelphia-area playwright Nimisha Ladva offers a contemporary reflection on Anandibai’s story and the pursuit of education: what it gives and what it costs.
