In "What The Fox?," a vibrant, coming-of-age comedy follows an LGBTQIA+2S and neurodivergent Scout troop on an unexpected adventure when their smartphones fail. Stripped of social media feeds, they delve into an exploration of nature, collaboration and adversity and encounter a mystical nine-tailed fox that challenges their beliefs, fostering self-discovery and camaraderie through a ritual calling to the ancestors — the Legendary Mothers of Harlem ballrooms. The play opens with an excerpt from Ms. Bittner’s "Mountain Woman," setting the mood for the journey ahead. With Bittner’s transcendent score and Andrea Parson’s joyful choreography, audiences are transported to the Oregon desert and beyond, where laughter, heart, hope, and magic await.
