    About This Event

    Isa Medina brings ensemble-focused stage work and musical storytelling to Union Hall. The bill includes the conceptual "Idea"—the origin point behind the film The Idea of You—alongside comedians Perez and Richard and musicians Rachel and Tiny. The evening emphasizes close listening, attention to text and rhythm, and a 1990s-rock-informed compositional sense rather than spectacle.
