Audience Age
Grades K-8
Few musical ensembles earn top marks for their "deft choreography," but this is no ordinary ensemble. Part chamber music group, part devised theatre company, part modern dance troupe, part circus act, The Fourth Wall blends music, theatre, dance, and acrobatics into a new hybrid art form. In their award-winning variety show Fruit Flies Like a Banana, this trio of musicians creates new interdisciplinary works and reinterprets classic repertoire - all performed in an order chosen by the audience - to make music that leaps off the stage. Interactive online performances of Fruit Flies Like a Banana put everyone in a front-row seat, and all are invited to help create a show that leaps off the screen.

Program Length
30-45 minutes
Parking and unloading: We drive two vehicles. One is a minivan, which carries our larger items, including the vibraphone. The closer we can get to the performance space with the van, the better. Once unloaded, we can park it wherever is best for the school.
Performance space needs:
20' deep x 30' wide is ideal (minimum 16' deep x 20' wide)
Stage surface must be smooth, flat, and free of protruding objects, obstructive cracks, holes, splinters, etc.
Marley flooring is not required, but the stage must be appropriate for dance and for objects on wheels, such as a vibraphone and hoverboards.
Smooth, low-pile carpeting is occasionally acceptable.
Direct access into the house from the stage is requested, enabling performers to go back and forth from the stage to the house with ease during the show.
Technical requirements: Fruit Flies Like a Banana has no power requirement. We perform live, acoustic music, so neither show requires sound support.
Materials the school needs to provide: One music stand (optional).
Arrival time: 90 minutes prior to show
Time needed between performances: 30 minutes
Strike Time: 45 minutes
Please introduce the performers as a Young Audiences of Massachusetts ensemble.
