Crystal's Channel *open workshop*

Experiments in Opera presents an open workshop of Jason Cady’s new one-woman opera, Crystal’s Channel. An opera featuring a solo singer (Sarah Daniels) with a ventriloquist doll and guitar. She portrays a songwriter who uploads a new, original song everyday to Youtube. The singer and dummy, together, tell the funny and painful story of how she mastered ventriloquism in her adolescence—and how that obsession ended when her mother took her and the doll to an exorcist.
