BOB PAISLEY
The Event
The Event is a deceptively simple piece of theatre
which playfully but profoundly leads us to
question not only the nature of reality, but the
very nature of existence itself. PG

BURAN THEATRE COMPANY
The House of Fitzcarraldo
A sock-knocking tale of unimpeachable weirdness,
The House of Fitzcarraldo tells the story of
a man who didn’t know when to quit, a woman
who didn’t care, and the greatest shipwreck the
world has never seen. Buran Theatre Company’s
triumphant return to the KC Fringe proves once
and for all that no man is an island, but some
men are isthmuses. PG

American Alphabet
In American Alphabet, Fishtank resident artists
Lisa Cordes and Damian Torres-Botello replace
the traditional “R”s of Reading, ‘Riting, & ‘Rithmetic
with the more timely Race, Religion, &
Rant, as they guide the audience through their
personal lessons on the subjects you aren’t supposed
to talk about in polite company. They
have their own chalkboard and they’re not
afraid to use it. R

BUTCHER BLOCK PRODUCTIONS
Morphotic
Morphotic, based on Franz Kafka’s life and
works, is set entirely at “the very moment of
Kafka’s death” when multiple hallucinations
bloom: actress-becomes-Kafka, man-becomes-bug,
nurse-becomes-whore, consumptive
disease-becomes-jazz dance, Kafka’s personal
misery-becomes-art. PG
