The show mixes Mad Libs style inspiration from the audience, with the wild machinations of my voice and brain. And there are hats!’ “</span></p>

Says Huff, “I went to some educational outreach programs Jeremy did years ago with Wolf Trap Opera, which were partially improvised, and a lot of fun. I had this idea of trying a one-person version of a short improvised opera, discussed it at length with Jeremy, and workshopped several iterations with friends and family. And thanks to audience suggestions, the show will be different every time!”</span></p>
