Natural Shocks

Lauren Janoschka

A One Woman Play in a Tornado by Lauren Gunderson

96 E Union St

<h3>S﻿ynopsis</h3><p>Based on Hamlet&#x27;s “To be or not to be,” Natural Shocks is a  70-minute, one-woman tour-de-force play that bursts to life when we meet a woman waiting out an imminent tornado in her basement. Angela, our fast-talking heroine, overflows with quirks, stories, and a final secret that puts the reality of guns in America in your very lap. The play is part confessional, part stand up, and part reckoning.</p><h3>C﻿ontent Warning</h3><p><strong>N﻿atural Shocks discusses themes of domestic abuse and gun violence</strong>. If you are concerned that these might cause you distress, <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRm2vrkMfK3epMntgCqm3i8K4iwQ0JMSosyzItR_E1zcOua6pzq1Xgkxp3bWUhtA6qNovhsMajumP7D/pub" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">there is a more detailed explanation available here</a>. Please only share what you read with those who solicit it; the line between “safety” and “spoiler” varies from person to person.</p><p>S﻿trobe lights and loud sound effects will be used throughout the production.</p><h3>Cast and C﻿reative Team</h3><p>D﻿irection: Steven Strafford</p><p>P﻿erformance:  Lauren Janoschka</p><p>S﻿tage Management: Timothy Oh</p><p>L﻿ighting Design: Quentin Kurtz</p><p>R﻿un Crew: Tommy Page and Forrest Haasl</p><p>T﻿echnical Supervison: Daniela Chaparro </p><p>S﻿pecial Thanks to Holden Evans, Sarah Riley, Alexa Janoschka, Muriel and Darin Janoschka, Wade Elkins, Eryn Elyse McVay, Seeley, and the Ohio University Lab Show Committee, without whom none of this would be possible</p><h3>L﻿and Acknowledgement</h3><p>We, The School Of Theater, acknowledge that, from the time of Ohio University’s founding in 1804, it has occupied the traditional homelands of the Shawnee people, as well as the Wahzhazhe (who are also known as the Osage), who lived in Southeast Ohio before them. As the first federally legislated public university in the United States of America, Ohio University was an integral part of the U.S.’s westward expansion and empire building. </p><p></p>
