Theatre on The Wire/Political Theatre Festival
Tyson Blanquart of the NonProphets and Joe Hanrahan of afterMIDNIGHT will be discussing new projects of their companies coming this fall. For the latter, that means some talk of "ThomPain (based on nothing)" at the CWE landmark Balaban's. For the former, "American Buffalo" is soon-to-be staged; and the Militant Propaganda Bingo Machine will be retooled, with new sketches and a new location.
That show will also feature a special political sketch night, part of the St. Louis Political Theatre Festival, held throughout town between now and November, with nine companies taking part, with shows going on a regular basis between now and election time. For more information on this, consult www.newlinetheatre.com. Or, if you'd like, kick me an e-mail (thomas@52ndcity.com) and I'll shoot you the full list, sent to me courtesy of organizer Scott Miller.
All of this will dissected on tomorrow's The Wire, 7:30-8:00 p.m., on KDHX, 88.1 fm.
