If you need more convincing, check out this testimonial!
“I had the great fortune to see an early workshop of Hoops of Steel, and I was blown away. This imaginative alternative to Shakespeare’s Hamlet positions the story firmly in the 21st century, and paints vivid and believable portraits of Ophelia and Laertes, while opening up new meanings in this 400-year-old play. It’s smart, funny, and heartfelt. I can’t wait to see where Woodzick and Jules take this powerful piece!”
-Amanda Giguere: Director of Outreach, Colorado Shakespeare Festival

Fly back to 1986 and train with teachers Christa McAuliffe and Barbara Morgan as they prepare to go where no civilian has gone before - space! From the "vomit comet" to the interview room and the space shuttle itself, explore the heights of friendship, what it means to take risks, and our place in space with this all-woman ensemble as they become teachers, astronauts, engineers, and more. Never shying from the ultimate fate that media, politics, and technical malfunctions portend, this feminist re-telling of the Challenger disaster story is a passionate love poem to those who dared to go, their families, and their vision for the world through movement, song, and memoir.
