The Transit Rider

In April through June 2006, the four-member version of Faun Fables including Jenya Chernoff and Matt Lebofsky toured North America.

Behind the actors portraying the riders, three large windows showed projected images which are the work of visual artist Eric S. Koziel.

At the end of the trip, McCarthy was left alone on the rail car, with only the disembodied Train Conductor (Frykdahl), veiled in shadow and making cryptic announcements over the public address system.

McCarthy attempts to comply to rigorous regulations as intoned by the Train Conductor, as she tries in vain to try to find an appropriate stop along the rail line to have a picnic.

The second act consisted of the four-member Faun Fables performing The Transit Rider song cycle in a faithful reproduction of the music as it appears on the Drag City CD.
