Dan Hoyle’s “Each and Every Thing”
October 16, 2014 @ 6:15 pm - 8:30 pm
Free
“Each and Every Thing” is the newest solo show from award-winning actor/playwright Dan Hoyle about how we experience the world in the digital age. From a showdown with a violent person in small-town Nebraska, to a childhood listening to anti-conformist rants in San Francisco; from the hard-scrabble corner boys of Chicago to the intellectual temple of Calcutta’s famed coffeehouse; from a Digital Detox retreat in remote Northern California to an intimate confession in Manhattan, join Dan in his search for true community, spontaneity and wonder in our fractured and hyper-connected world.
Written and Performed by Dan Hoyle
Directed by Charlie Varon
Developed with Charlie Varon and Maureen Towey
The performance will be followed by a discussion between Dan Hoyle and Pratim Sengupta, Assistant Professor of Learning Sciences & Science Education and Director of the Mind, Matter & Media Lab at Vanderbilt University – Peabody College.
