Americana Absurdum, Part 1
by Brian Parks
Des Moines, IA—The Subjective Theatre Company of Des Moines (STC/DSM) is proud to present the Iowa premiere of Brian Parks' award winning Americana Absurdum, Part 1.
Americana Absurdum, Part 1 will be performed as part of the second annual Crossroads Conference. Shows in the Downtown 4th Street Theatre are at 9:45 p.m. December 3rd and 8 p.m. December 5th.
For more information, please visit www.crossroadsiowa.com and www.DesMoinesSocialClub.org.
Ticket Price: $0.00
(as all Subjective Theatre Company shows are)
Americana Absurdum Part 1 debuted at the original New York Fringe Festival 12 years ago, and will be making its Iowa Premier during the Crossroad Conference. The dark comedy follows a family-run business of undertakers on the day a scam-corporation plans a hostile take-over; meanwhile, the two children of the family face the vulnerability of the dreaded, singular event – The Senior Prom. Come witness the absurdity of Americana!
Where: 4th Street Theatre – 216 4th St., downtown DSM
When: Dec. 3 @ 9:45pm / Dec. 5 @ 8pm
Ticket Price: $0.00
Winner of both The New York International Fringe Festival's Outstanding Writing award and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe First award, "Americana Absurdum" was also selected as the
"Critics Choice" by Time Out London.
"..a pair of caustic, hyperarticulate comedies which fan flames of inspiration. Playwright Brian Parks and an expert cast send up American culture in the venomous tradition of Christopher Durang."
-- The New York Times
"Sheer relentlessness of delivery. This is a fast show. It's also a virtuoso display of theatrical pyrotechnics. This is satirical social commentary - laughter with meaning. Frenetic."
-- Iain Macwhirter, London's Sunday Herald 20/08/00
