<BODY>The Case Footlighters Musical Theater presents the Northern Ohio Premiere of:
THE WILD PARTY by Andrew Lippa October 28, 29, 30th at 8pm and October 30th at midnight Carlton Commons, Case Western Reserve University 5$ Admission
Warning:  This show contains adult themes and is not suitable for children.  It contains sex, violence, violent sex, homosexuality, promiscuity, alchohol use, drug use, debauchery, and some REALLY GOOD JAZZ.
Adapted from a book-length poem written in and about the Roaring Twenties, THE WILD PARTY tells the story of one wild evening in the Manhattan apartment shared by Queenie and Burrs, a vaudeville dancer and a vaudeville clown. In a relationship marked by vicious behavior and recklessness (mirroring the time in which they live), they decide to throw a party to end all parties. As the guests arrive, we meet an assortment of people living on the edge. Queenie and Burrs set out to make each other jealous, but Queenie begins to fall in love with her conquest named Black. After a long night of decadence, Burrs' jealousy erupts and he comes to a violent end at Black's hand. In the stark light of a new day, Queenie moves out into a brighter world, although not necessarily a brighter future, leaving the passed-out revelers in her wake.
