The Teapot Project
Teapot: Existential Angst & the Search for Purpose at the Dawn of the Millennium is a retrospective on a young woman’s first few years of what some now call “adulting.”
Storyteller Shannon M. Turner graduates in 1997 from a liberal arts college with an English degree and no plans for the future.
As the millennium approaches, she wanders aimlessly through low-wage jobs, trying to find her sense of purpose, garnering small truths about herself and the working world. Parallels between twenty-five years ago and today are poignant, when global freakout over Y2K and a presidential impeachment are in the background of everyday people just trying to get by.
Teapot is not just a one-person show. It also involves an entire platform of workshops and public dialog events about purpose, power, passion, and possibility.
Performances include audience interaction from the liminal space of the lobby, all the way to the final moments of the show.
Because, what we need right now is to rebuild and reconnect…
one story at a time.
