The Neo-Political Cowgirls To Present HYSTERIA

Kate Mueth and the Neo-Political Cowgirls announce their upcoming dance theater production of HYSTERIA on October 30th, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. at The Old South Church, 645 Boylston Street in Boston, MA.

Presenting a cast of company members from The Neo-Political Cowgirls joined with performers from Emerson College, this production will raise funds for The Lucas Flint Memorial Scholarship to benefit a Visual Media Arts major in financial need attending Emerson College. Set in the gorgeous, Gothic, Old South Church, HYSTERIA plays with sound, immersive experience, music, light and darkness, dance and chilling stories inspired by women who were diagnosed with "Hysteria" then yanked from loved ones to be cast into insane asylums, never to be seen again. Creepy and riddled with distorted movement on top of terrifying music and stories, HYSTERIA presents a unique "Surround story" experience for those who love to be scared.

Lucas Flint was a Junior Visual Media Arts major in December, 2018 when he was killed as he walked home by a hit-and-run drunk driver. This memorial scholarship in his name hopes to keep his memory alive and to serve in raising awareness about drinking and driving as well as the power of being an organ donor. Lucas, in his death, saved the lives of five people because he was an organ donor. NPC is honored to be creating a new work to honor Lucas.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and the 75-minute performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Advance, online tickets are $25 and are available at www.musae.me or www.npcowgirls.org Tickets at the door are $30 and a special seating, advance purchase ticket is available for $75 for seating in the first four rows.
