ABSURDIST COMEDY "RHINOCEROS" NOW ONSTAGE AT CON-CON THURS-SAT THRU
SEPT 16.

"
The Trump Era Has Transformed Theatrical Absurdity Into
Near-Reality:..
The subversive power of theater is that it can make us laugh in the
face of real existential threats. And that laughter, with any luck,
can turn into change. So it is worth paying attention to this
convergence-continuum production..."  (Christine Howey, _Scene_)

When a brutish rhinoceros storms through their quiet neighborhood, the
townsfolk are alarmed, but gradually become supporters of rhino-ism
and one by one begin to turn into rhinoceroses themselves. Will the
few hold-outs be able to resist the rhino’s despicable impulses, or
become part of the mindless herd?    A classic absurdist comedy
that is a parable that remains universal and particularly timely
today.

RHINOCEROS is directed by Jonathan Wilhelm and features actors Tom
Kondilas, Mike Frye, Kayla Gray, Joe Milan, David Munnell, Jeanne
Task, Rocky Encalada, Natalyn Baisden and Kim Woodworth.

RHINOCEROS opens this Friday, Aug 25 and runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm
through Sept 16 at con-con’s

Tremont neighborhood.
