Absher, Ditzel Star In Tympanic's MUSINGS, Runs 4/23 - 5/23
What is your greatest wish and how much of yourself will you sacrifice to get it? Norman Painter, an ace car salesman, asks himself this very question after he discovers a Muse named Olga living under his bed. When Olga decides she wants something in return for nurturing Norman’s flourishing career, things get nasty as she invades the confines of his home, work, and love life.
Featuring Tympanic’s trademark use of high energy storytelling, quirky sound design, and repulsive yet empathetic makeup effects, Musing is a true modern fable, a dark comedy that examines the severity of sacrifice in an age where everything can disappear at the drop of a hat.
The show is written and directed by Artistic Director Amy Whittenberger and features Evan Absher, Chloe Ditzel, Josh Harriss, Ariel Trocino, and Whitney Valencia. It will be performed from April 23 - May 23.
The Tympanic Theatre Company produces new, unsolicited work in a provocative style
that redefines how space is used in modern theatre. We believe in utilizing all aspects of
the theatrical environment as soon as the audience arrives, including the lobby, stage, and
the audience itself. Through this technique, we aim to literally surround the audience
with a theatrical experience that is fresh, energetic, and visceral.
Dedicated to new work, Tympanic’s first three productions, Splintered Crosses The
House of Weird Death, and Gregor and the Squonk featured twelve world premiere
short plays and one full length from seven different playwrights, including Daniel
Caffrey, McKenzie Gerber, Rob Matsushita, Joshua Mikel, Cameron Stuart, and Amy
Whittenberger.
