NEW THEATRICAL PRODUCTION



Fri & Sat, October 8 & 9, 2010
“CHIMERA” by THE MRS. HOBBS EXPERIMENT featuring Naked With Shoes, Everybody Nose, and Amy Kaps

8:30pm, $20.00 regular price, $15 for students/seniors/Highways members

CHIMERA: anthropomorphism, mythological creatures, people becoming animals, fauna changing to flora, love and loss through transformation.

These new fairy-tales set on the farm, in the woods, and at sea are of love, heartache, sorrow, and the absurdity of human nature. They are woven together by the accordion-driven music of Mrs. Hobbs (aka Diana Hobstetter), the dance of Naked With Shoes (Anne & Jeff Grimaldo), the video/performance of Amy Kaps, the clowning of Everybody Nose, and the puppetry of Poli Marichal.

Transform yourself!
