The Catastrophic Theatre presents SPIRITS TO ENFORCE by Mickle Maher. A group of telefundraisers attempt to raise money for an upcoming production of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, to be performed by local superhero team “The Fathom Town Enforcers.” Things aren’t looking good at the phone bank. They haven’t raised a dime, rehearsals are a disaster, and they haven’t sold a single ticket. How far will they go to pull off this seemingly doomed-for-sure production? Why do they even want to? Spirits to Enforce creates a cacophonous symphony of language. A riotously funny, tender tale of memory, loss, and finding the way back home. From Mickle Maher, playwright of such Catastrophic favorites as It Is Magic, There Is a Happiness That Morning Is, The Hunchback Variations, Song About Himself, and the world premiere of Small Ball. Catastrophic Founding Artistic Director Jason Nodler directs an ensemble cast starring Noel Bowers, Raymond Compton, Tamarie Cooper, Jovan Jackson, Bryan Kaplún, Jenna Morris-Miller, Karina Pal Montaño-Bowers, Rebecca Randall, Kyle Sturdivant, Clarity Welch, Abraham Zeus Zapata, and Walt Zipprian.
