“This is our first foray into long-term planning! We've been fortunate to receive longer-term grants and gifts this year that enable us to announce a full season for the first time. But hey, NO PRESSURE OR ANYTHING. We're still a pretty small theater and performance collective, still trying to provoke your thoughts and actions. But it's a privilege to continue to produce this dynamic, immediate work and grow with this group of artists,” said Conspirators Artistic Director and Co-Founder Wm. Bullion.

It's a Conspirators Musical! An aging, super-successful pop icon (Viva) from small-town Michigan returns first to lift up, then wreak havoc on her long-ago ex (Mort) and the townsfolk who scorned her in her misguided youth. Performed in The Conspirators' inimitable Style.

About The Conspirators 

The Conspirators work exclusively in a style of neo-Commedia called “The Style”—a highly theatrical performance mode developed by movie stars Tim Robbins and John Cusack from the techniques of Ariane Mnouchkine, Commedia dell'Arte, Bugs Bunny cartoons and punk rock, as historically performed by Chicago's New Crime Prod. (R.I.P.) and L.A.'s Actors' Gang. The Conspirators also offer free Style workshops to interested performers of all calibers. Check out our production history here: www.conspirewithus.org
