The Theatre Oracle
Created by I.A.T.S.E. Local 28 (the stagehands union) members Kate Mura and Dana West, The Theatre Oracle takes you backstage, giving you a glimpse of the reality behind the magic.
This stunning black & white photographic deck shows you behind the lights, above the scenery, into the dressing rooms and over the pin rail.
Theatre professionals who are also into cartomancy - now you will have a deck that literally speaks your language! That will tell you when it's time to exit stage right, bring in a director, rehearse more, or get the right tool for the job.
Cartomancers - You'll be surprised at how practical and transferable theatre language is for everyone. Sometimes you just need to take a break, practice more, or create your script.
You may be wondering why, as Kate is a tarot reader, is this an oracle deck rather than a tarot deck?
Well, we do have a breakdown for a tarot deck, however there are so many industry specifics we didn’t want to pigeon hole - or get really abstract like memorizing lines for the 8 of Pentacles - which live so much more authentically as oracle cards. We may do a tarot deck one day. We also may do expansion packs - Fringe, B&T, 1st National - but lets not get ahead of ourselves!
Most people in the USA/Turtle Island have no idea the amount of time, skill, training, and resources that go into any theatre performance, let alone a Broadway National Tour. The Theatre Oracle brings the backstage world, into the spotlight.
Release date set for the birthday of The Keller/Public Auditorium: July 4, 2025.
