Meet up at Tryon Life Community Farm for Fuse’s latest devised theatre work.

Fuse Theatre is presenting a new piece anchored in the ecology of Fungi this harvest season; the mysterious, adorable, disgusting, and often terror-laden kingdom that’s been trending in humans lately.

Last Spring, they took their collective medicine: restarted their training where 2020 brought us – outdoors – and dove into research on fungi, both biological and physical, through various training modalities. Part variety show, part educational guided tour, part treasure hunt, part opera, part forest-hike, part day-trip, part hero's journey, SHROOM SHOW is the organic and highly nutritious product of months of experimentation and collaboration between a small, evolving cast and a vibrant, ever-expanding production team.

Wear your farm shoes and tune your senses to prepare for maximum biodiversity. Weather gear for September wouldn’t hurt; if you have one, bring a foraging basket. You may also borrow one of ours.

To improve the accessibility of the programming to the entire community,  the show will be indoors for the third weekend of the run at The Back Door Theater on SE Hawthorne.
