| The theme song for curiOZity was written by Kevin Zahm and Kevin Monroe, with words by the cast. A demo was recorded by etruscan loveletters. To hear it, click here. | |
| curiOZity was a performance developed by the theater class of the 1989-90 school year in conjunction with Jeanette Lee Knaap, who was teaching English at MHS at the time. We brought the piece to the Rhode Island Theater Competition, where it was widely applauded and inarticulately panned. Many alternate titles were considered before choosing curiOzity. | |
| From The Program - "Our OZ is not a world of munchkins and witches - it is rather a world of drones and technical demons. The rainbow has been absorbed; it is embodied by the citizend of OZ. They are all, in fact, neatly color-coded! They are the primary colors, divided and organized - framed by the deities of this world. The good witch, the wicked witch and their two sisters, however, have undergone a metamorphosis in our story. They represent the spectrum of science from machines to nature - from the unified presence of all color (white) to the stark absence of any color (black). The sun, steady, everpresent, warms this otherwis cold society. She represents the greatest good. Through her, Dorothy sees the light! Next in line is Mother (Human) Nature. In this truly mechanized world, human nature (the earth-person in all of us!) stands alone. The actresses are the yin and the yang, the harmony of sound that represents the confused voice of the human spirit. On the flip side, we have the evil Formidia sisters, 1 and 2. Formidia 2 is Dorothy's foe. She is all the technical wizardry and power of an advanced human society minus the humanity. She is still a woman, but she is empowered by electricity and powers the mdeia. Formidia the First, all machine, is destroyed by the overwhelming curiosity of Dorothy when she crosses "the fourth wall." If you look closely at this alternate, fantasial society, for all its powers and witches and oddity, you might - just might - see a familiar face (or two) looking back at you! Welcome to OZ!" - JLK | |
