Circus Salome
from the play "Salome" by Oscar Wilde
adapted and directed by David Yeakle
music by Justin Sherburn
illustration by Leah Lovise (leahlovise.com)
Oscar Wilde's notorious play, Salome, is re-imagined as a strange circus wherein the Ringmaster, Herod, lusts for his spoiled stepdaughter, the aerialist, Salome. The ominous, blasphemous and erotic elements of Wilde's original script remain intact in this circus setting, presented as a world of abusive power, gluttonous excess, and sexual desire.
(Due to the subject matter, this play is not recommended for children)
September 3 - September 26: (Friday - Sunday - showtime 8:15 PM)

SAVE THE DATES ON THE ORIGINS OF THE SPECIFICS-THE MUSICAL A wild, fun, and crazy ride through the cosmos, the creation, the miasma, the milieu, and the science that measures, explains, and tries to profit from it all. Narrated by an opossum, (the only creature known to have been present at the big bang and who is also known not to have evolved one iota since that moment) - the story is told through a fossil record with more gaps in it than my poor Uncle Bert's teeth right before he passed on. The first theatrical production this season to bring Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection to its final selection. The first waltz ever to be written based upon the chemical structure of DNA.
