Buntport Theater Company Announces Upcoming Projects

In a time when plans are hard to make very far in advance, press releases become ... more nebulous. While Buntport Theater Company is announcing new programs, this really is a general check in. 

Buntport Theater Company Presents CABARET DE PROFUNDUS OR HOW TO SING WHILE UGLY CRYING

A comedy about grief, dirty woodcuts, and one of the wonders of the world... Based loosely on the real life Artemisia II of Caria, Cabaret De Profundis, or How to Sing While Ugly Crying is a cabaret-style evening featuring Hannah Duggan with local composer and pianist Nathan Hall. You'll learn about Artemisia, including her commissioning the creation of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and her penchant for mourning her husband's loss by drinking his ashes in her wine. And you'll be entertained by her non-sequiturs and side stories (yes, including a song about dirty woodcuts carved by monks). As Artemisia says herself, she'll go through all the stages of grief in 90 minutes or less. Featuring a mix of old classics and new compositions, this monologue-with-musical-numbers is a dark comedy with the emphasis on comedy.
