Heathers: A Live Reading

My Son’s A Homosexual, And I Love Him…

There’s ONE true queen bee of high-school dark comedy, and that’s HEATHERS. And now, Theatre Contra is taking this cult-classic script of teen angst, croquet, and casual homicide and performing it LIVE!

Get ready for a night of savage one-liners, color-coded tyranny, and a love story so toxic only Winona Ryder could pull it off. So pull on your scrunchies, hop in a go-kart and prepare for an evening of beautifully bitchy mayhem as we bring this deliciously dark masterpiece to life.

Machiniac: A Play About Cybernetics + Awkwardly Unsuccessful Romance At The End Of The World

Stranded on a brick roof in Providence RI, an unlikely duo pass post-apocalyptic hours encountering memories that may or may not have happened or are not happening as they succumb to the temptations of biohazardous mechanical bionic unification. In the existential, dialogic tradition of Waiting for Godot, Machiniac is a play about cybernetics and awkwardly unsuccessful romance at the end of the world.

The cast includes An Talatinian, Lids Bierenday, and Ellen Zahniser. Tech crew includes Sam M-H and Addie Boyd. The play runs about 1 hour 10 mins with no intermission. Content warning for self harm, psychosis, descriptions of body horror, and partial nudity.

 

MONDAY, MAY 1ST
DOORS @ 5PM + SHOW @ 6PM
NO COVER // FREE FUN
