“Chaotic Harmony,” an original theatrical dance production, celebrates the legacy of Gwen Frostic, regional artist and cultural icon. “Chaotic Harmony,” named after one of her 18 books, renders a fresh dance-based interpretation of Frostic’s work by choreographer and director, Gretchen Eichberger (Elberta, Mich.) and writer Anne-Marie Oomen (Empire). The production will premier as a gift to the community on Aug. 27 at 7:30 p.m. and on Aug. 28 at 3 at the Meeting Hall of the Congregational Summer Assembly in Frankfort.
