Shadowbox Live Turns Up the Heat in January with BODY HEAT

By:

Jack Frost may be nipping at your nose now, but in just one month you'll be sweltering at Shadowbox Live's hottest show of the year: Body Heat.

Opening January 5, 2017, Body Heat is Shadowbox Live's annual sex, love, and relationship show, where sketch comedy and rock 'n' roll exploit the first date, last date, and everything in between!

"This show (Body Heat) provides cast and audiences alike a chance to cut loose after the stress of the holiday season," comments Shadowbox Live metaperformer BranDon Anderson. "Our holiday shows are rated PG-13, so by the time we get to January we're ready to perform material that is rated R!"

The show is currently taking shape and promises to include loads of new characters and a few old favorites as well.

Body Heat opens January 5th at Shadowbox Live, 503 S. Front Street in the Brewery District and will run Fridays and Saturdays until March 18h.

Shadowbox Live, a non-profit 501C3 performance ensemble, is the largest resident theater company in America, producing over 500 shows per year.

For over 20 years Shadowbox Live has produced world-class performances, spanning the artistic spectrum with sketch comedy, rock 'n 'roll, original rock operas, traditional musicals, drama, dance theater and new media; always putting emphasis on the unparalleled live experience.
