❗️TUES NOV 19 ❗️we’re bringing .little.wenker straight from all the good festivals and places to win awards (yes the 🏆 awards were won) snag a ticket🎟️
🤠
Baddest. Cowboy. Texas. These are just a few words to describe the Baddest Cowboy in Texas. He roots n’ t***s n’ roots from the mightiest mountains to the sauciest saloons. But what happens when a Badder Cowboy-er Texas-er (AKA his nemesis) rides into town and steals his title?

BANGTAIL is an epic tale of a man in search of his manhood. So saddle up for an hour of unbridled cowboy clown chaos as our hero journeys from the Wild West to the American office.

Fresh from a sold out tour in the US (March 2024), a sold-out run in Edinburgh, and a transfer to SOHO Theatre in London BANGTAIL is back in his home territory and … dare he say it … on the road again!
🤠

Harry and The Hendersons - everyone's favorite oscar winning movie. (What you didn't keep up on who won best💄makeup in 1987???) The film is tender, it's beautiful, and full of grace. A natural subject for Jason DeGraff's new clown piece debuting this Saturday and Sunday. Never seen the movie? Perfect, come find out if you want to watch it.
🎬
Jason is opening for show Help Wanted. Show starts at 8pm. Tix are in the bio.

And for the next flippity flop we have: ‼️The producer and director themselves performing a brand spakin new piece: 🪄Inspiritus.
💞
Breathing with spirit, alive in a fervent dream, yearning to be filled with the Muses
💞
Ultimately to create great work an artist must confront the epic powers of Muse… and also themself. How does the artist relate to their art? Is the muse lurking around every corner or do you have to pull her out of the corners of the earth?
💞
Inspiritus is an original two person mime play created and performed by Sierra Camille and Dan Griffiths. It incorporates elements of French and American mime tradition as well as cartoon and modern mime. The performance runs 45 minutes with no intermission. An enduring and ageless story of art, inspiration and creation itself.
💞
Following Flop Fest, this show will be going to Pakistan to be part of The World Culture Festival in Karachi, so catch it while you can.

Don’t be scared! isn’t going to drag you away. Although they might be able to clear you of some 😈 demons if you ask real nice! Did you get your tickets yet? 🎟️ They’re burning a hole in our theater (and bio). plz help get them off our chests and into the world for this Fri/Sat/Sun at 8pm.
🌍
As The World Rises and Falls: Do you believe everything you see? Do you ever stop to question it? And how far will you go to preserve your illusions? As the World Rises and Falls follows the journey of two circus performers living in the tattered ruins of what used to be their glory days. Under the dilapidated big top we watch their reality unravel before our very eyes.
🌍
A live theatre experience of psychedelic proportions, As the World Rises and Falls is a new devised work of physical theatre told through the style of clown, sans the red nose. Brimming with infectious energy from start to finish, this piece is a kaleidoscope of acrobatic embodiment, spectacle, and straight up stupidity! Prepare yourselves for the strange, absurd, and daringly delicious. These clowns are ready to do whatever it takes to preserve their way of life.
