PARADISE, created in collaboration by choreographer Helen Hatch and theater visionary Jon Ferguson, combines movement, physical theater, clown, and music to evoke joy through a journey beyond the everyday. The 70 minute all ages performance features original music by Seth Conover and Joe Strachan, lighting by Karin Olson, sets by Ashley Mary, and rich contribution from the ensemble: Artemis Brown, Juliana Johnson, Kendall Kramer, Genevieve Waterbury, Remi Blakesley, and Connor Simone. Presented for the first time since it’s premiere in 2023, PARADISE celebrates wonder, connection, and finding warmth together during winter, when we all could use some light. “The show knocked my socks off. I can’t say why exactly, and it doesn’t really matter, but I was deeply moved. I cried several times and felt changed afterwards. Lighter, more hopeful.” – PARADISE audience member
Based out of Duluth, Minnesota, Death Valley Yacht Club is the creative collaboration of musicians Charlie Jacobs and Alex Oberton. The two-piece band’s signature sound features their intricate vocal harmonies sung over the interplay between their tightly-arranged acoustic guitars. MN Songbird described the band’s sound as “timeless”, saying they could imagine hearing the music “in the 90’s opening for someone like Elliott Smith.” Their original music takes inspiration from artists like The Beatles, Neil Young, The Avett Brothers, and Jesse Welles. DVYC’s music brings to mind the high and lonesome essence of bluegrass and modern folk music, having been compared to classic and beloved acts such as Simon and Garfunkel, The Milk Carton Kids, and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Their debut album, Dead Flowers, was published to various streaming services in April 2025.
