On March 20th, 'The Secret Order of Revolutionary Operettists presents'...The Beastly Bombing or a Terrible Tale Of Terrorists Tamed By The Tangles Of True Love, at the Trap Door Theatre.

Framed by the plot mechanisms and charming music of a Nineteenth Century Gilbert and Sullivan-esque comic operetta, The Beastly Bombing is a romance about white supremacists and Al Qaeda terrorists plotting to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge. The Beastly Bombing's controversial but hilarious take on modern politics, fundamentalism and the war on terror has produced a touchstone event, leading to debate about which issues comedy can address in our polarized society.

Cast members include: Tiffany Bedwell, Noah Durham, Matthew Gottlieb,John Gray, Michelle Hackman, Steve Konet, Alyssa Nicole Larson, Melissa Law, Andrew Luckenbill, Gabriel Pastrana, Alzan Pelesic and featuring Stephen Lydic as the President of the United States.
