Times are grim, abysmal, dare we say…apocalyptic?! Let’s play, perform, protest… LET’S PURIM! Join our meshuggeneh one time only performance, MISS APOCALYPSE, co-created by a motley crew of interdisciplinary clowns, singers, movers and musicians! Together, we’ll find joy and catharsis through this evening of living, breathing theater in our raucous, anti-fascist, liberatory revision of the Book of Esther.
MISS APOCALYPSE will leave you laughing, crying, singing, sighing, and maybe even jumping up to participate. Join us for an evening of theatrical chaos, divine comedy, and unexpected Purim revelations as we wrestle with the upside-down absurdity of…well…everything.
Costumes strongly encouraged. Come dressed in your apocalyptic best!
This performance is rated R. Get yourself a babysitter!
