BARNSTORM SHOW OPENING THIS WEEK + 
OTHER SHOWS COMING UP THIS FALL!

The UCSC student-run Barnstorm Theater Company of the Department of Performance, Play & Design presents:

This Friday & Saturday only –
At the Hands of Fire & Iron
Written and Directed by Jaden Edson
Set in a fantasy world, a duo meets a solo traveler on the road, and they band together as they set out on a quest for the Tree of Knowledge. In these two snippets, we watch as Azrael discovers his magic abilities after surviving an exorcism, and as Ripley and Aeron confess their love during both a storm and a fight.
🎃 Show off your Halloween costumes at both performances! 👻

    MARK YOUR CALENDAR AND GET TICKETS FOR
    Shows coming up in November:

    1972: The Future of Sex
    Directed by Gabe Young
    It's 1972, an era of possibility and polyester and pubic hair. While Ziggy Stardust is on Top of the Pops, Penny is writing an essay on Lady Chatterley's Lover, Christine is watching Deep Throat and Brian is confused. Devised by The Wardrobe Ensemble, the show incorporates the company's trademark theatricality, irreverent humour and ensemble ingenuity to tell the story of three couples having sex for the first time – and a country on the brink of a sexual awakening.
    • November 14 - November 23

    The SpongeBob Musical
    Directed by Rebecca Wear,
    Musical Director, Luke Shepherd
    Choreography by Cid Pearlman
    The SpongeBob Musical is a Broadway production based on the popular animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants. It premiered in Chicago in 2016, then debuted on Broadway in 2017 receiving 12 Tony Award nominations. The musical tells the story of SpongeBob and his friends in Bikini Bottom as they face the potential destruction of their town by a volcano, with songs written by David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper and The Flaming Lips.
