A Craigslist Cantata: Digital ads that resonate onstage

Craigslist is the modern day marketplace - the digital destination for buying and selling. And where there is commerce and trade you will find cultural exchange and the deveopment of social relationships.

Looking for a new dining room set on Craigslist can easily dissolve into an hour re-imagining the 'missed connections' that have taken place at the very coffee shop you visit each day. Postings for lost wallets are followed by pleas for help from distraught pet owners missing their beloved cat.

"Bill (Richardson) was a master at finding ads that really resonated on stage." says director Amiel Gladstone. Do You Want What I Have Got? transforms everyday online advertising into a series of songs that takes the viewer beyond the digital screen to the sometimes silly, always tender human heart.
