2023 SEASON
MARCH
INDYFRINGE BASILE
DIRECTED BY CASEY ROSS
“I don’t want realism…I want magic.”
Arguably, Williams’s masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire was written during a period of change in America, after World War II. In short, it is about a woman who comes to live with her sister and her sister’s husband. She eventually loses her grip on reality as she fails to get what it is she most desires…
In March, Catalyst returns ‘home’ to the IndyFringe Basile Theatre to remove all distance from this scarifying classic drama, with an extremely intimate box-box production, that will pull no punches. This production will be directed by Artistic Director Casey Ross. After this, you will know, for certain, that you can’t go around depending on the kindness of strangers…or even family.

INDYFRINGE BASILE
DIRECTED BY CASEY ROSS
“As tough as old shoe leather and as bold as brass!”
Starmites follows a lonely young woman, who magically finds herself in the comic-book world she adores, where she must lead the Starmites in their efforts to save the Earth and battle the evil Shak Graa…
Starmites is a cult-classic Broadway oddity from the 1980s that has yet to see a major professional revival, since being nominated, against all odds, for 6 Tony Awards. Until now. This season, Catalyst takes Barry Keating’s quirky outer-space, rock-n-roll, superhero fantasy and gives it a conceptual facelift by our award-winning Artistic Direction team. This isn’t your highschool’s VHS production Starmites…prepare to join us and the ‘Mites in Innerspace.
Homnia, Homnia…hey!
Stay tuned to hear more about this exciting revival adaptation production graciously allowed by Starmites’s creator, Barry Keating.
