Theatre--Performance (Musical Theatre)

Acting Unlimited, Inc. and its educational branch, Acting Unlimited Repertory Academy, the companies that brought you Bat Boy: The Musical and Speech and Debate, are pleased to present their winter double-feature, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and Aristophanes' The Frogs!

Dr. Horrible, written by Joss, Jed, and Zack Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, is the story of an aspiring supervillain, his arch-nemesis, and the activist who happens to be the girl of their dreams. AURA brings this surprisingly heartfelt tale of finding identity, purpose, and connection from the Internet onto the stage.

In Aristophanes' The Frogs, Dionysus, God of Wine and Drama, decides to end the conflict in his war-ravaged world. He takes a trip to the Underworld to bring back a great artist who will awaken the world to its senses. Along the way he and his slave Xanthias face challenges, choices and a maniacal chorus of Frogs. The question is asked: how do you save the world -- with the head or with the heart?

The shows will be performed together with an intermission at Cite Des Arts.

Tickets are $8, the performances are at the following times:

Thursday, January 6 at 7:30 PM
Friday, January 7 at 7:30 PM
Saturday, January 8 at 8 PM (with special ArtWalk pre-show!)
Sunday, January 9 at 3 PM

...the status is not quo.
