Morbid Poetry by Christin Siems, directed by Ali Miller
Morbid Poetry is a sardonic, hilarious and heartbreaking glimpse into grownup life. A cutting edge exploration of suicidal flies and dead Easter Bunnies, it reminds audiences that it’s OK to want to murder your brother and hope that your ex-BFF gets eaten by a shark. Because sometimes life sucks. Sometimes it is also funny.

ABOUT ACTIVE CULTURES THEATRE
In its brief five years of existence, Active Cultures Theatre has cemented its niche as a theatre that is grounded in storylines with a strong local flavor. Active Cultures weaves together history, sports, science--often song and dance--and always creates work that evokes the unique culture of the DC area. Over the past four years, the theatre has commissioned and developed seven full-length plays, one of which, Photograph 51, won the $10,000 international Stages Award for best new play about Science and Technology and was produced Off-Broadway in 2010. In addition to commissioning and producing full-length works, Active Cultures produces two annual festivals: Diving Board, a festival of readings of new plays by local writers, and Sportaculture, a festival of short plays about local sports. Active Cultures was featured in INSIDE ARTS magazine as a leader in Cosmoregionalism and recognized by DC THEATRE SCENE as "one new theater that has a solid mission." Active Cultures, the vernacular theatre of Maryland, creates smart and juicy theatre for a diverse, multigenerational audience.
