Lonnie Hanzon and The Enchantment Society Present the Denver Premiere Of Siobhan O'Loughlin's BROKEN BONE BATHTUB
Siobhan O'Loughlin brings her intimate solo theatrical event to the Lakewood Glens from September 6-23, 2018. BROKEN BONE BATHTUB is the award-winning immersive one-person play taking place inside a bathtub-in an actual private residence. After a serious bike accident, a young woman musters up the courage to ask for help and shares her story, exploring themes of trauma, suffering, human generosity and connection. The small-scale audience takes on the role of Siobhan's close friends; listening and sharing their own experiences, and assisting the cast-clad artist in her very real ritual of taking a bath.
Broken Bone Bathtub plays the following schedule through September 23 (specific location given upon reservation):
Monday - Saturday: 7 p.m. & 9.p.m.; Sunday: 2 p.m. & 4 p.m.
Tickets are $35.00 (with a $1 membership to The Enchantment Society) and are now available online at www.brokenbonebathtub.com
Running Time: 1 hour (No intermission).

Broken Bone Bathtub has performed to sold out site-specific venues all over the world, received an Outstanding Solo Performance Award from The New York Innovative Theatre Foundation, and was named in the Top Ten Shows not to miss by City Pages Minneapolis, Best Performances in 2016 by DC Metro Theatre Arts, and Immersive Theatre Shows to See by The New York Times.
Broken Bone Bathtub premiered in Tokyo, and has since been performed throughout Australia, Ireland, the UK, and across the USA-from Los Angeles to Baltimore, to St. Louis, Minneapolis and Orlando. In total, Ms. O'Loughlin has shared this immersive play in 5 countries, 15 cities, and nearly 291 different bathtubs. The show has been featured twice in The New York Times for 2016's: "A Surreal Dive Into Immersive Theater" and 2018's "The Kitchen is Her Stage." In 2018 thus far, the production has toured New York City, Seattle, Olympia, Portland, San Francisco, Grass Valley, Las Vegas, and Fresno. This Denver premiere will be O'Loughlin's 21st city, and her 400th performance of the show will take place during this run.
After a bike accident, leading to a broken hand, Ms. O'Loughlin began borrowing friends' bathtubs all over New York (since she only had a shower). Crafted from a set of Ms. O'Loughlin's journal entries after the accident, Broken Bone Bathtub is a testament to the kindness and generosity of her friends helping her take a bath, buying her dinner, leaving her wine and chocolate, getting her new bubbles, and washing their favorite warm bath robes for her to use. The theatrical experience stems from how much their openness, kindness, and generosity contributed to her healing, as well as a meditation on our many pathways to healing-through self, community, and the political movements around us that inspire us to persevere, even in tumultuous times.
