christo doherty on the shooting gallery

i did catch the last performance of the shooting gallery on sunday afternoon. once again, i really enjoyed it. and on the second time, james webb’s sound design was much more apparent to me. there was a wonderfully “brechtian” moment at the end of the performance. just after catherine henegan, aryan kaganof, and the black poet (mac manaka) had sped off-stage and out of the theatre in the merc, a middle aged white couple appeared in the brightly lit doorway. they peered into the darkness of the auditorium, conferred ernestly between themselves, and then walked in and took their seats in the front row. it seems they were lost and trying to find some other performance, but there was that moment when they could have been the coda to the shooting gallery.
