For millennia, people have gathered around fires to share fables, weave myths, and cast shadows that dance on cave walls. Now, Allegory of the Cave breathes new life into these ancient traditions.

This unique production is brought to you by a skilled ensemble who combine traditional improv with the captivating arts of puppetry and shadow theatre, weaving elements of folklore and timeless storytelling into a living tapestry of improvised scenes. Prepare for big ideas, unforgettable characters, and epic adventures that unfold live before your eyes – no two performances alike, yet each a journey into the unknown.

Allegory of the Cave is the collaborative creation of Audra Goffeney, Rosalind Gregoire, Jennifer Jordan, and Robert MacKie. Together, they bring a rich blend of fantasy, folklore, and shadow theatre techniques to the world of improv, crafting performances that transport audiences into realms of myth and wonder.
