This is the historic first time collaboration for two MacArthur geniuses who have, individually, challenged, enlightened and entertained adventurous audiences for years. ASTRONOME: A NIGHT AT THE OPERA is a work dominated by ecstatic groans, grunts and babbling, and explores the initiation of a group of people into a world where ambiguous behavior alone leads to freedom--perhaps under the tutelage of the necessary "false messiah."

NYC Cast: Karl Allen, Benjamin Forster, Fulya Peker, Eric Magnus, Morgan von Prelle Pecelli, Jamie Peterson, and Deborah Wallace

View rehearsals (November 25 - February 4th) streamed by free103point9 Transmission Arts, every Wednesday, from 10a.m.--4:30p.m.
