Guest Artist, Bill George , is the founder of Pennsylvania's Touchstone Theatre and Kingfisher Theatre. He received the coveted Fringe First Award for outstanding new works at Scotland's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. His original production features Henry David Thoreau's text mounted in a frame of gestural simplicity and direct address.

This is the story of an innocent soul, troubled by his times, who retreats to the woods to understand the full meaning of life and to test the validity of the many assumptions about living that society takes for granted. While there he experiences adventures and natural encounters, and slowly comes to understand the ultimate frustration, joy and necessity of the individual's quest for meaning.
