Titled, IRETONIA: A Sc-Fi Fantasy, five performers created a theatrical experience like no other.<br />
Directed by Michaela Goldhaber,<a href="https://youtu.be/Cvoa_lkq6DE"> IRETONIA</a> is just the first collaborative effort that this newest incarnation of Wry Crips has in store.<br />
<br />
NOTE: This footage was shot live at the second performance, and is the only video footage capturing the play. The footage was then 'trapped' virtually in a computer that had received water damage, and all was thought to be lost. But after almost a year later, the footage was recovered and now made public!<br />

WRY CRIPS WAS A BIT DORMANT BETWEEN 2012 to 2017 UNTIL A PERFORMANCE WAS ORGANIZED, REHEARSED AND PRESENTED TO THE PUBLIC IN JUNE OF 2017.<br />
<br />
BY LATE SUMMER OF 2017, THEATRICAL DIRECTOR MICHAELA GOLDHABER JOINED IN TO HELP DEVELOP AND DIRECT A PIECE CALLED, <b><i>'IRETONIA: A SCI FI FANTASY.' </i></b><br />
FOUR YEARS IN THE MAKING, 'IRETONIA' WAS PERFORMED IN BERKELEY, CA. ON THE STAGE OF LIVE OAK THEATER OPENING ON FRIDAY AUGUST 18th TO A SMALL BUT APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE.<br />
<br />
PRESENTED BY 'T1 Presents', T1 Presents is an extension of TheatreFIRST that focuses on collaborative residencies. Learn more about all things <a href="http://theatrefirst.com/">TheatreFIRST</a> does! <br />

It began in the early 1980's, has had several performances over the years, was dormant for several years and got revitalized by one of the original founders, Patty Overland, in early 2011. Wry Crips worked on one piece all year to produce a performance in November of 2011 that was attended by almost 100 people on a beautiful afternoon.
