SCHAULUST

Wyatt likes to watch. No, he needs to watch. He’s addicted to the thrill of seeing people eat, clean, read, watch TV, and live their lives. But when his passion starts taking on a life of its own, inexplicable events begin happening. Suddenly, Wyatt’s search for answers sparks his transformation into something new. Better. Beautiful. The version of himself he was always meant to be. A psychological thriller with music.

Since its founding in 2012, the festival has helped produce more than 80 new works from local, out-of-town, and international artists while issuing more than 16,000 tickets to new and returning audiences.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund
