Also! Heathens! Theatre Under the Gun is this weekend! Tonight and tomorrow night!
Come be educated in the glory that is 48 hour theatre! Teams are given inspiration packages containing a prop, a sound bite, a line donated from a famous playwright, and a picture. Overnight, these elements must be tightly woven together into a performance, because the very next day? They perform!
It sounds a little flaky, but honestly, it’s terrific. Some of the shows Theatre Under the Gun has produced have been some of the best performances I’ve ever seen. I still, quite badly, want the surreal birthday short to be teased out into an entire production. It had a depressed french clown, a box full of “dead” kittens, and a woman who used a whip to crack the candle on her chocolate cake. I would go every night. It even beat out John Murphy having sex with a plant.
It’s $12 tickets or $20 for both nights.
