The Drama Squad

Last spring, Catastrophic dispatched teams to the backyards and driveways of audience members to perform entirely original work in a masked, socially distanced format for no more than 10 audience members at a time. This fall, The Drama Squad will take it to another level in outdoor spaces where we can perform for larger audiences while continuing to implement the same safety measures as before. Audiences will experience a wildly creative variety show consisting of original pieces created by Catastrophic artists, including music, dance, comedy, drama, puppetry, and a really twisted clown!

Creators and performers are: Afsaneh Aayani, Tamarie Cooper, Greg Dean, Joe Folladori, Bryan Kaplún, Scott Lupton, Mara McGhee, Patrick Reynolds, Erin Rodgers, Alli Villines, and Abraham Zeus Zapata. 

Socially distanced outdoor seating, masks required. Read more
