SIDEARM GALLERY PRESENTS The Missoula Oblongata in The 50 Greatest Ladies and Gentlemen Sunday, August 30, 8pm 1122 St Roch Avenue $5-10 sliding scale
The Missoula Oblongata
Nationally acclaimed experimental theater company the Missoula Oblongata (www.themissoulaoblongata.com) presents their fourth full-scale touring production, The 50 Greatest Ladies and Gentlemen. As always, the company has created their own homemade lighting system-run from the stage by the performers, as well as an interactive set made of junk, and an original score played live by the composers-turned-actors.
The 50 Greatest Ladies and Gentlemen
The 50 Greatest Ladies and Gentlemen takes place just after the Treaty of Versailles. A veteran who is genetically predisposed to cowardice searches for his brother from whom he's received a mysterious letter. When the veteran comes upon the town from whence the letter came, he finds that his brother (and the rest of the town) have been caught in a dance mania-a hysterical mass tarantism. With no one else around, the veteran befriends a spider-likely the one who is responsible for the tarantism, and together, they go up against the town doctor who believes that breakfast is beneath love.
Written and performed by Donna Sellinger and Madeline ffitch
Music and lyrics written and performed by Travis Sehorn and Charles Leo Gebhardt IV
Directed by Sarah Lowry.
