Preview Performance: Monday, November 16 at 8:00pm
Performances: Tuesday, November 17 through Saturday, November 21 at 8:00pm.
Where: Walt Disney Modular Theater
Hellzapoppin’, a dark comedy written and directed by Robert Cucuzza will be performed in the Modular Theater. Inspired by the 1941 film Hellzapoppin’, Cucuzza’s version imagines vaudeville team Olsen and Johnson dropped unceremoniously into the intense eye of the film production storm. Their ideas are plundered, their routines met with silence, their personas reconfigured and their friendship put to the test. Robert Cucuzza, a 2011 Directing MFA candidate, leads the ensemble of 16 performers through this explosive and absurd production. The theatrical designs fuse together old Hollywood, vaudeville and the present day to literally bring down the house.
