The Workhaus Collective is producing a play about Philip K. Dick May
28-June 7th. We thought it would be a great community event if we held
a club night, where both MISFITS and MNSTF would be invited, knowing
that there would be an afterparty in their honor.
We're planning this Club Night on Friday May 29th and it will be
announced at the opening ceremonies of MiniCon April 10th. We just
wanted to make sure you heard it from us first! Please let your
membership and mailing list know! We do still recommend people to make
reservations for May 29th, just because there will be limited
seating.
The vital statistics are below.
Thanks and see you at the show!

*************
800 Words: The Transmigration of Philip K. Dick is based on the life
of ground-breaking science fiction author, Philip K. Dick, complete
with secret agents, Dick’s dead sister and a talking cat. The play
begins just as Philip’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is
about to be released as the Hollywood filmBlade Runner. (Later films
like Minority Report, Paycheck, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, and
more, are also based on his work.) But Philip can’t stop obsessing
about visions he had years earlier when an extraterrestrial God spoke
to him using artificial intelligence.The play creates a surreal
landscape where memories of these events bleed into each other, fusing
and merging in a funny, dark trip – not unlike a Philip K. Dick novel
– where his recurrent obsessions of God, art, madness, time, fiction
and reality come alive on stage.
