The Catastrophic Theatre proudly presents LOVE BOMB by Brian Jucha and the Catastrophic ensemble, Conceived and Directed by Brian Jucha. What’s Love Bomb about anyway? It’s about “taxi dancers.” Even if it isn’t. So, what’s a taxi dancer? Early last century, taxi dancers attended dance halls, being paid in exchange for a single dance, maybe paid again for another, maybe paid once more for…? DID WE MENTION IT'S A MUSICAL? Featuring songs from 1970’s cultural icon and singer-songwriter Melanie, the First Lady of Woodstock notoriously famous for “Brand New Key” aka The Roller Skates song. Yeah, THAT Melanie. This experimental new musical invites you to join us at the dance hall where there’s nothing people won’t do to find love. The rest is going to have to remain a surprise and you can bet it will be. Catastrophic is a “make-your-own-meaning” theatre and nobody exemplifies that ethic better than Brian Jucha, who employs found text, pop culture, music, and intensive ensemble work to mystify, surprise, and enthrall audiences in ways they’d never imagined possible.
