DOORKNOB COMPANY’s new dance satire, The Miracle Show and the Death of OPTIMISM, co-directors Shannon Gillen and Elisabeth Motley invite you to the funeral for OPTIMISM. Funeral Attendants will guide you on a journey through exhilarating dance, woeful song, and uproarious theater, as we gather to mourn OPTIMISM's death and hope for a miracle. DOORKNOB COMPANY creates a world of deep physicality, virtuosic extremes, and peculiar happenings. It's high time for a miracle, and this one happens on your lunch break.
