Invisible Fences
By Kevin Kling and Gaelynn Lea
Directed by Timothy White
Singer-songwriter Gaelynn Lea and storyteller-playwright Kevin Kling combine their talents in an original musical fable, which weaves together storytelling and song to create a unique theatrical experience. This production blends their internationally-renowned skills in music and storytelling to create an intimate show that is rich in the wit and wisdom inherent in Disability Culture.
This show will be heavy on fun and adventure, while also centering accessibility and Disability Culture. Every performance will have ASL interpretation as well as projected captioning. There will also be narrated audio descriptions at the beginning of each scene to help blind and low-vision audience members better place themselves in the worlds we are creating.
The Largroff (Gaelynn Lea) is a platypus who was born with a spontaneous genetic mutation that caused her to sprout wings, horns and a snout. The Grasshopper (Kevin Kling) lost two of his limbs as a nymph, and is on a quest to get to the city for a peaceful retirement. Together this unlikely pair embarks on a journey where they come face-to-face with different worlds, dangers and dreams. This musical play touches on identity, disability and the stories we tell ourselves. Featuring Kling’s signature poetic word-play, and an array of captivating songs, written and sung by Lea, who plays her violin accompanied by George Ellsworth.
We are delighted to share that for the entire run of Invisible Fences we are offering ASL Interpretation for our Deaf and Hard of Hearing community members, with captioning, narration, and elevated sound for people who are Blind or visually limited.
For accessible seating for wheelchairs and for ASL section seating. Please reach out to boxoffice@zeitgeistarts.com to reserve your seat.
November 7th – 23rd
(Thurs – Sun & Thurs – Sat)
$25.00 General Admission

EARLIER 2024 SEASON SHOWS
“There is something for everyone in our 2024 season, from new work to reimagined classics, to thinking outside the black box and bringing plays to new and exploratory places. Our theater might be small, but to me, that is what is most exciting. Small space, big theater. When curating this season, we lead with love, and based it around the joy and passion of artists that surround us in Duluth, we promise you’ll feel all of that too. Welcome to Theater at Zeitgeist, we’re so glad you’re here.”
