The Boston Globe
Not your niece's Nutcracker! Her favorite Christmas show is torn limb from limb in this irreverant new vaudevillian ballet that mixes American swing, jazz and hints of Tchaikovsky with the traditional orchestral suite. Nothing is sacred--Nut/Cracked twists and melds tap dancing, singing and even thumbsucking(!) into a percussive ode to American eclecticism! Co-produced with Pearl Productions.
Beakman in Person!
Starring Paul Zaloom
Saturday November 4 - Sunday November 5
at the Roberts Studio Theatre
TV cult-hero Zaloom IS the oddball, madcap scientist he portrays on CBS's hit series Beakman's World! Over the top, interactive science theater for kids of all ages! Zaloom amazes audiences with an interactive, science-comedy whirlwind of death-defying and belief-suspending demonstrations of intriguing scientific principles! Come see why the LA Times says, "The irreverent Beakman can satisfy nearly anyone's curiosity! Energetic, sarcastic, engaging, and funny!".
The Mother of All Enemies
Starring Paul Zaloom
Directed by Randee Trabitz
Wednesday November 8 - Saturday November 11
at the Roberts Studio Theatre
Bread & Puppet's circus ringmaster brings new meaning to the term "puppet regime"! Peek behind the scenes at this hotly politicized burlesque queer-ing of traditional Middle Eastern shadow puppetry. The protagonist, a gay Arab immigrant artist, must outfox hordes of pursuing adversaries to find true love! Can he escape Homeland Security, Al-Qaeda, Minutemen vigilantes AND The Buttfart Genie? Paul juxtaposes this craziness against the uproarious, true story of the US Marines' attempts to recruit him to be their Arabic translator!
