What the heck is Graupel?

Graupel, an accumulation of time, place, sculpture, and performance, was to find itself frozen on the ice at Little Long Pond, down the road from College of the Atlantic in the village of Seal Harbor, but unseasonably warm weather landed the play back on campus in late winter. Structured as an opera in five acts, performers guided the audience through a frozen landscape that was at once familiar and unknown. The performance was the culmination of A Production Monster Course, a term-long, three-credit class taught by COA Joanne Woodward & Paul Newman Chair in Performing Arts Jodi Baker and arts & design professor Dru Colbert.
