Ontroerend Goed: Once and For All We’re Gonna Tell You Who We Are So Shut Up and Listen

Nov. 3-7:

To venture into the emotional and physical jungle of adolescence, the Ontroerend Goed performance group has enlisted 13 teenage guides who are going to tell it like it is, like it or not. This completely uncompromising look at the raw urges and untamed thoughts rattling around in semi-adult bodies shocked and charmed audiences across Europe last year. Hilarious, disturbing and strangely life-affirming, “Once and For All We’re Gonna Tell You Who We Are So Shut Up and Listen” pulls down all the barriers. You’ll never look at a teenager the same way again.

Hellzapoppin’ Coming to the MOD in November

When:

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.
