Forged in the flames of middle school friendship and polished during the pandemic, Foreshadow is the love child of Rosalind Lilly and Gaby FeBland, two lifelong Brooklynites and theatremakers. The duo has performed their fully-scored, macabre shadow plays at Dixon Place, Green-Wood Cemetery, Brick Aux, Coney Island U.S.A., Jalopy Theatre, the Owl Music Parlor, and the Coney Island Mermaid Parade. Foreshadow is a proud recipient of a 2024 Workshop Grant from The Jim Henson Foundation.
