the incomparable julie oak is back again turning time into silly putty as she fishes the cosmic pond of new physics. delving and dipping into universal mysteries and anti-matters, her new show features a piece she has conceived and directed, “into the elsewhere”. we follow dr. seemore, played by the lively todd phillips, as we journey to dimensions “beyond the fourth”. the compelling leralee whittle is his sister, a smarty pants truth-telling teenage deity, and later, a crone/guru, while julie oak embodies their all too human cat. the piece explores human perceptions and issues with the concept of time.

these three theatrical wizards share their improvisational brilliance and wit as they tackle everyday existential dilemmas, and illuminate human possibilites in their unique blend of movement, characters and story.

julie oak started performing professionally in 1972 with wisconsin mime theater, later joining ruth zaporah’s action theater in berkeley, and has appeared frequently in the greater bay area as a solo performance artist. she has appeared in the works of nita little, as a guest artist at cabrillo college, and was a co-director of santa cruz movement theater group, plan b improvise. last spring julie created her own show, “obsessed” at the actor’s theater, and now directs and performs in “objects of desire, and into the elsewhere”.
