Imago Co-Founder Carol Triffle premieres her newest show: Mission Gibbons

The time has come to listen to the Cavemen sing.

Is humankind moving forwards or backwards? In Carol Triffle's strangely empowering absurdist comedy, the answer is "both." Three day-tripping hikers find their climb up Mount Plastic reoriented by a trio of Neanderthals who know a thing or two about the end of the world ... and how to save it! With Irish drinking songs, ballads of man-eating bears, and even a tune in a language that you've never heard before, Mission Gibbons makes our impending apocalypse a little less scary, even as Triffle satirizes our ongoing consumerism, self-absorption, and need for love. Feel free to laugh 'til it hurts.

Cast includes Kyle Delamarter, Amy Katrina Bryan, Anne Sorce, Tory Mitchell, Laura Loy, and Brooklyn Williams. Lighting design is by Jon Farley. Set design is by Alex Meyer.
