Level Ground Arts presents Hellzapoppin

WORLD PREMIERE

One weekend only! February 24th-February 26th , 2012



A circus atmosphere sets the mood in this comedy hodgepodge full of sight gags and slapstick. It's like Rowan and Martin's Laugh In, only more dated. There will be trained animals and dancing girls with a smorgasbord of explode-the-fourth-wall-nuttiness. A contemporary physical comedy romp for the whole family. It's like Cirque du Soleil for the 99 percent.

This show is part of the Level Ground Arts Classic Series



Directed by Dick and Tiffany Monday
