AFTER THE PERFORMANCES, STAY FOR THE WORLD PREMIERE OF.....ABODE SOLO

A shot by shot remake of the 1990 holiday classic HOME ALONE

Kari Houghtaling, 25, and Liz Smith, 26, directed, produced, and acted in a full-length remake of the 1990 holiday classic Home Alone, and play nearly every character themselves.

Aside from cameos by Smith's parents and a friend at the Milwaukee International Airport, the two alone play every character from the original movie. Using strategic camera angels and costume changes the pair was able to re-construct the film almost in its entirety.

The duo filmed on location in Guttenberg, Iowa during the Polar Vortex of 2014, the coldest weekend on record for the year. They used an old digital camera for recording and have been editing the footage in iMovie for most of this year. The frigid temperatures made it difficult to keep the 2007 Cannon Powershot running for outdoor scenes.

The movie would have been impossible without the help of the generous small town Iowa community. Several local businesses and a local church allowed the actresses to use their location for filming. The Guttenberg Police Department even provided a squad car with flashing lights for the Wet Bandits' arrest at the finale of the movie. The title of the remake, Adobe Solo, was devised using synonyms for the original inspiration, Home Alone.

Tickets are limited to 100 for this extra special night, purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended.

-Trombonist Patrick Crossland was born in Jackson, Mississippi. Growing up in southern Louisiana, he began playing trombone at age 10. He has worked closely with several prominent composers. Solo performances include the Walker Art Center’s “Festival Dancing In Your Head” (2001, 2002, 2005), the Darmstadt Course for New Music (2004, 2006, 2008), where he was awarded a Solo Performance Prize, and the “Utopia Jetzt!” Festival (Germany) where he performed his acclaimed “V for Grock” multimedia recital. In 2009 he premiered his “Krieg dem Krieg” project featuring thematic works for trombone and electronics. In addition to his activities as a soloist and chamber musician, he is an avid improviser, working with a wide range of musicians, dancers, and actors. He is a member of the Composers Slide Quartet, Ensemble Laboratorium, and Zinc & Copper Works. Recently relocated to the Baltimore area, he teaches trombone and other music courses at the University of Maryland Baltimore County.

-Jerome Bryerton has been working as a free improvising percussionist for the past eight years. In this time, he has worked with some of the most respected players in the world. In October he was once again acquainted with Berlin multi-reedist Wolfgang Fuchs and San Francisco bassist Damon Smith; presenting two concerts as well as recording on CD (balance point acoustics). In September he worked with bass saxophonist Tony Bevan; with Bevan, he performed in San Francisco with local improvisers Scott Looney and Damon Smith. Last winter Jerome toured in Paris and Monacco with Chicago improvisers Carol Genetti and Andrea Polli. These performances were aligned with the multi media festival I.S.E.A. as, well as the Monacco dance forum. Jerome´s style strikes a resemblance close to the likes of European percussionists Paul Lovens, Paul Lytton, and Le Quan Ninh. Intent on using multi ethnic percussion as well as western percussion - simultaneously furnishing them with an odd assortment of orchestral metal and Chinese cymbals/gongs. Jerome believes that it is necessary to keep intact many of the European aesthetics revolutionized in the sixties and seventies; but which is also crucial is the synthesis of wit and experience of a modern American improviser. As a side note, Jerome has also worked with the following people: trumpeter Axel Dörner, reed player John Butcher, guitarist Henry Kaiser, reedist Peter van Bergen, reedist Jack Wright, cellist Fred Lonbergholm, trombonist Jeb Bishop, and also bassist Kent Kessler.
