READ MY MIND!!
Meet Alice, your everyday Manhattanite, with one little exception...she can move objects with the power of her mind, read your mind, and possibly tell you your future! It wasn't always thus; all it took was one bad day. Now Alice is out to find if she's not alone. And what better way than a TELEKINESIS PARTY!!! A little mental soiree turns into an evening of cerebral Olympics with citywide repercussions. Join us for an evening of light bulb bursting, nose bleeding, mind-bending comedy written by Damon Heath Sager and brought to you by the Gossip Factory. After you meet Alice, Carrie's prom will seem like a tea party.
Tuesday July, 20th - Saturday July 24, 7pm

CARTOON HAS ARRIVED!!!!!>!>!>>!>!>!>!>!>>!
Join the exploits of a mismatched band of cartoon stereotypes on a wild ride through an animated world. Presented in the style of a Commedia dell’Arte scenario gone berserk, watch as a young, idealistic upstart named Trouble steals the giant hammer that Esther, the bratty dictator, uses to maintain a monotonous, but peaceful order. See Suitor chase Damsel, while two Anime girls fight for the attention of Rockstar, a big stuffed teddy bear with a dark edge. Enjoy the sad songs and pontifications of Winston Puppet, while bombs explode, chaos ensues and bodies pile up. A violent social commentary exploring the rapid coalescence of media, politics and consumer giants, Cartoon proves there is nothing like a punch in the face to really get the blood moving!
A major collaboration between two burgeoning collectives brings you this fully produced theatrical spectacle and multimedia event. This mediation on corrupt leadership, media saturation, and extreme violence comes complete with spunky costumes, trippy video animation, and outrageous stage combat all underscored with your favorite video game music. Cartoon holds you captive as the bodies pile up and the violence begins to creep off the stage and into the audience.
MADCAP produces full bodied, high energy productions where the theatrical process is stressed and is allowed to flourish to create a strong artistic result. MADCAP seeks to produce exciting, thought-provoking new works, in addition to rediscovering classical texts presented in new lights. MADCAP strongly emphasizes collaboration between all members of the company (directors, actors, technicians, playwrights, producers) and audiences to further enrich the community.
