Basement Arts to Present TREASURE ISLAND and AN ACTOR PEPPERS This Week

Basement Arts' 2013 Fall season is about to wrap up, but before we go we have plenty of events that you don't want to miss. Join us this weekend for our final production of the semester, Treasure Island, and our final LATE NIGHT of the semester, An Actor Peppers!

Treasure Island

December 5-7. Performances at 7:00pm and an additional 11:00pm performance on Friday. Directed by: Scott Crandall.

Treasure Island this season will be an adventure into the exotic seas of nontraditional storytelling. Starting without a script, the storytelling method will be entirely devised and deconstructed. From this essential skeleton, the most desperate elements of the tale will shine through like a knife; escapism, violence, social order, and with an all female cast, this exploration will shed a new light on the classic tale.

An Actor Peppers

December 7 at 11:00pm ONLY Hosted by: Avery DiUbaldo.

Come watch your friends and colleagues perform your favorite scenes, monologues, and songs while they struggle against the fiery heat of a habañero pepper!

Until the year 2000, the habañero pepper was the hottest known to man. Rating up to 350,000 degrees on the Scoville spice scale, one habañero pepper is 350 times spicier than a tablespoon of Sriracha, and 100 times spicier than a jalapeño.

Before each act, one or more performers will consume an entire habañero pepper and attempt to complete the performance to the best of their ability.

Generous quantities of bread and chocolate milk will be provided.

All performances take place in Studio One at the Walgreen Drama Center. As always, ADMISSION IS FREE!
