[NEohioPAL] "THE END?" IS NEAR!

[Oddy Festival]

Please consider joining us at Heights Arts Studio a week from today
(Wednesday, December 3rd) at 8 for OddyFest December, *The End?*  Burn off
those turkey calories by laughing profusely at the absurdist ("A Flock of
Seagulls"), the bawdy ("The Last Satyr"), and the yoga ("Downward-Facing
Burt").  At the year's end, we're exploring implicitly or explicitly the end
of theatre as we know it.  Or just having a good time.  That works too.

Hope to see you at Heights Arts Studio 12/3 at 8!  Come at 7:30 for
a reading of a short story called "End School Zone," and stick around after
the play to hear Steve Maistros' holiday hit song, "Foreclosing Christmas."

*NEOHIOPAL DISCOUNTS CONTINUE!  HALF-PRICE ($5) IF YOU MENTION THIS EMAIL.*


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

*THE END?*



*"A Flock of Seagulls" by Stuart Hoffman*



Stuart Hoffman, the Secretary from last month's "Klutz," has written a play,
if the actors could only stay in character and stop peeking at the script.

* *

*"The Last Satyr"* by Matt Greenfield*



In 533 A.D., the Roman Empire is crumbling and, at the edge of the empire, a
playwright-director tries to convince his bawdy-drunken goat-men crew and
new lead actress to give theatre one last go… if anyone shows up.

(Inspired by historical events in 533… and 2008.)



* "Downward-Facing Burt" by Steve Maistros*



Burt's wife practices yoga. Burt practices dying.



*That's not all! … Stick around for a third dramatic sampling*

*as well as original odd music to follow the plays, including the
Steve-Maistros-penned hit "Foreclosing Christmas"!*



*Two shows only!*

***I'm tired of offering NEOhioPAL discounts that are overly-complex. So, you
mention NEOhioPAL, you get in for half-price!*
