The Alumni made another bold artistic response to our country’s (fear obsessed) socio-political environment by creating a three woman show called: Blanket of Fear. Created by Emy Johnston, Michaela Leslie-Rule, Angel Taherazer, and director J. Paul Preseault, Blanket of Fear told the story of three women whose lives came crashing together through the legal system and beyond. Their hardened positions in life and issues of race, culture and the present state of our civil rights, clashed in a holding cell haunted by the ghosts of our country’s history of fear as a coercive power. Blanket of Fear performed a number of times in Western Washington from February to September, made a late night trip to Yakima, and ventured south to Corvallis Oregon where we performed three shows in one day for over 1,500 people.
