THE WILD PARTY is a new interactive/immersive show created by Table 8 Immersive and Majestic Repertory Theatre. Directed by Troy Heard, and based on the 1928 poem by Joseph Moncure March. Seeking fearless performers who can bring the Roaring 1920s to life. All performers must be comfortable with one-on-one audience interaction.
Queenie’s throwing a party tonight — and it’s gonna be wild as hell! All the swells from Broadway to the Bowery are here: Madelaine True, the society lesbian; the Brothers d’Armano, the virtuosic songwriting team; Burrs, the jealous clown with a heart of coal; and Black, the sex magnet that catches Queenie’s eye. Bathtub gin flows while passion grows…as we make the 20s roar once again.
Note: This is a new immersive theatre piece based on the original poem, not the musical written by Andrew Lippa or Michael John LaChiusa. It does contain musical elements, however.
