Trifecta of Mishaps

About

A triple bill of solo performances featuring clowning, lesbian yearning, and an overworked employee of the Afterlife Ministry. Unearthed Theatre Company presents: Trifecta of Mishaps. Lesbians Eat Fire Written and performed by Caro Vinden In 1995, AIDS hovers over New York City like a tsunami, threatening to sweep away and drown everything Lesbian Avenger Joanne knows. She’s lost her first love but yearns to keep her flame alive as desire, anger, joy, and danger collide. Inspired by the lived histories of the Lesbian Avengers, Angels in America by Tony Kushner, and lesbian activism of the 1990s, this new play is about staying alive when hope feels impossible. Welcome to the World, Pippy the Clown! Created and performed by Emily Wollenberg Pippy is from another time (not this one). Pippy is new to the world (she just spawned yesterday). And Pippy would like to learn about it (and all its confusing facets). Eyes wide with wonder, she embraces the little mysteries of life through discovery, play, and a little help from you! This show is a Work in Progress. The Bureau of Redundancy Written and performed by Magdalena Weitgasser The Bureau of Redundancy is a tiny office set between the realms of life, death, and everything in between. What happens in the great beyond is far less spectacular than we thought it would be. As humanity began valuing productivity and efficiency over other, more outdated morals (like not being a murderer, not exploiting your fellow human beings or not destroying the Earth because you’re a greedy c*** — you know, the classics), the afterlife and its bureaucracy began to change. After all, the great beyond is a reflection of life. If a soul is deemed useful, it is allowed to undergo another cycle. If deemed redundant… well, let’s talk about that in person, not in a show description. Now a new force claws its way into the afterlife. Can it make things more efficient without dire consequences? This show is a Work in Progress. The performance venue and toilets are located on the lower level of The Libra.
