Thanks to everyone who came out to see the Mumming Plays in Chicago and Connecticut!

What is a Mumming Play?

 It's a medieval tradition where actors go bar-hopping and tell the very British story of St. George who fought the Turkish Knight and a dragon. We Americanized it just a bit, so now it's the story of Uncle Sam fighting the Turkish Knight.  And there is an Asian dragon that wears oversized women's sunglasses! 

So yeah, it was pretty bad-ass.

We'll have some more thoughts on that soon.

     Apocalypse Lost  tells the hilariously haunting tale of Harlequin, the hideously deformed son of a braggart Captain, and his sloppy plot to release the suburban slaves Pierrot and Columbina from the basement.

    Tensions rise as nuclear proliferation, unrequited love, rape, tomatoes, and the terrorist next door become very ridiculously intertwined - Fortunately, there should be a Deus Ex Machina to straighten everything out!
