JUXTAPOSE | A Theatrical Shadow Box, Dec 4 - 21, 2025 at Baltimore Theater Project
“Spectacularly magical…Visually stunning. If you are looking for an entertaining, wonderfully weird, and provocatively thoughtful play, then this is one you do not want to miss.” – MD Theatre Guide
In JUXTAPOSE, the lives of eccentrics co-existing in a tenement building are interrupted and illuminated by a human shooting star who arrives through their roof. Themes of mortality, ephemera, extinction, and community are animated along with curated objects in a theatrical shadow box inspired by the works of Joseph Cornell.
As humanity teeters on the edge of the frame, JUXTAPOSE offers audiences the ability to laugh at fear and offers that the limitless hope of imagination might save us from the despair of ending.

Happenstance Theater, founded in 2006, is a professional company committed to devising, producing and touring original, performer-created visual, poetic Theatre. Our ensemble has been developing work together since 2012. We are eclectically skilled artists who craft all aspects of our pieces from concept to realization. Under the Artistic co-Direction of Mark Jaster and Sabrina Mandell, we harvest imagery from the past and re-contextualize it in performances that address the universal themes of mortality and the ephemeral. With the simplest means - humor, whimsy, music, silence, text, physical comedy, object manipulation, vulnerability and generosity - we seek to elevate the moment when the performers and audience meet, to lift the encounter beyond the daily and pedestrian into the realms of dreams, poetry, and art. Meaning is often found by happenstance.
