ABOUT THIS PLAY

“It’s hard to imagine a better fit between subject and style than Available Light Theatre’s sweet and insightful John Cage 101.”

– Margaret Quamme, Columbus Dispatch

“A fun, live atmosphere that one only experiences through theater. I commend AVLT for taking a risk and creating something different. They took a chance and for that I recommend all to see the show.”

– Lisa Much, Columbus Underground

If there was a rule about music in place, John Cage found a way to break or at least tease it, posing fundamental questions about the relationships between art and “real life.”

AVLT celebrates the 101st year of the Cage era with a theatrical mixtape – just think of it as "38 Short Plays About John Cage" – reflecting the renegade life and controversial ideas of the 20th century’s most influential experimental composer.
