Monday Night Plans


Often when I speak to people about my theatrical path here in DC I get to the part about directing Titus! (the musical) in 2003 and they say, “Yeah, I heard about that! I always wished I’d seen that!” I mean, not everyone says that. But really, people have.

Anyhow.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, is your chance:


What: Titus, A New Musical (music and lyrics by Shawn Northrip)

When: Monday, July 2nd, 9 p.m. - ONE NIGHT ONLY - $8

Where: The Black Cat (14th Street btwn S and T Streets)

Why: To raise money for this summer's Capital Fringe Festival production of Cautionary Tales for Adults & The Many Adventures of Trixie Tickles

Who: Bouncing Ball Theatre http://www.bouncingballtheatre.com/ for more info.

Shawn Northrip's send-up of the Shakespeare classic will be performed with a three-piece band.

Titus Andronicus is the story of a mad f*cked-up general on a blood-filled quest to avenge the death of his 21 sons, ending in a banquet that serves pies made from the flesh of his enemy's spawns. Delish and creepy! Shakespeare's crazy play gets the punk rock treatment! The piece will be performed by 6 actors/singers. Musical theatre has never been so nasty!

Loud, rude and not for the little ones!!

The show features local actors Jewel Greenberg, Casie Platt, Andrew Honeycutt and Cesar Guadamuz--joined by NY Titus alum Pete Schuyler and Joe Pindelski (Joey is still a hometown boy to me even though the big city snatched him up a few years ago).

So join us. It should be a blast. And a bloody blast at that.
