Go Long Big Softie
Creator, Writer, Choreographer, Performer, Producer with Lightning Rod Special
Philadelphia Fringe Festival 2013
A retired white “shaman” meets a nerd in need of a role model. Thus begins a quest into the contemporary male psyche via the forgotten roads of poetry, myth, and inner-wildness. A clown show of two adult boys struggling to escape the powerful fiction about what it takes to be a man.
Reviews and Accolades
Philadelphia City Paper, “Sheppard and Rosenthal convincingly create middle-aged characters who are boys at heart, making what at first seems a satire of a long-gone movement into a playfully profound story.”
thINKingDANCE, “There are various dances which are usually comical, but often athletic, embodied, earnest, and endearing, and sometimes all at once!”
