Every story ends on a dark and raging river

By Anne Washburn

With score by Michael Friedman and lyrics by Anne Washburn

Presented by Theatre Howl & Buttered Ghost Theatre

Directed by Nathan Howe, with Musical Direction by Amanda Trapp

Starring Grahame Kent, Amanda Trapp, and a large cast of familiar Live Five Faces

 

Four strangers around a fire try to piece together a tale from before the fall of humanity. What follows is the 82 year evolution of a story from pop culture to sacred myth. There will be singing and dancing and guns and shooting and fire and poison and Sideshow Bob and a chorus of ghosts and a rabid, violent cat and mouse duo and crocodiles and piranhas and darkness and devastation. But when all hope is lost, there will be Bart.
