Happenstance Theater's BrouHaHa Set for Baltimore Theatre Project May 5-22

BrouHaHa: A state of social agitation when a minor incident gets out of control. Typically, it is marked by controversy and fuss that can seem, afterwards, irrational.
In this newly devised, clown-esque piece, Happenstance Theater's ensemble pares down to the raw essentials: Each performer plays one character, with one costume, carrying one case. This troupe of eccentrics is on the precipice at the end of the world. Their curiosity lights up the darkness like a firecracker. What happens in that moment of illumination?
BrouHaHa is a funny and poetic escapade inspired by images of refugees fleeing on foot, Edwardian workers, cinematic treasures like La Strada and The Seventh Seal, and the existential comedy of Samuel Beckett.

"Happenstance's troupe of Victorian clowns bring a sense of pathos and levity to the end of the world...the players' well-honed use of improvisation, audience inclusion, and most notably, physical humor and superb live sound effects, enliven their remaining time on Earth." - Washington City Paper

Performance is 75 minutes with no intermission.

Featuring: Mark Jaster, Sabrina Mandell, Karen Hansen, Gwen Grastorf, Sarah Olmsted Thomas and Alex Vernon.

WHO:
Happenstance Theater is a professional company committed to devising, producing and touring original, performer-created visual, poetic Theatre. Our ensemble is made up of multi-talented performers who craft all aspects of our work from concept to realization. We harvest imagery from the past and re-contextualize it in works that address eternal themes of life and death. With the simplest means - humor, music, silence, text and beauty - we seek to elevate the moment when the performers and audience meet, to lift the encounter beyond the daily and pedestrian into the realms of dreams, poetry, and art. Meaning is often found by happenstance. We were recently nominated for 8 Helen Hayes Awards for IMPOSSIBLE! A Happenstance Circus.
