 PETTING ZOO: LIVE COMEDY WITH LIVE ANIMALS
Welcome to the Petting Zoo. This is the world’s only comedy show featuring live exotic animals. New York’s top comics have to perform while holding snakes, birds, lizards, bugs, and other cool creatures. Between sets, you can interact up-close with the animals and learn from Ranger Eric Powers and his team of professional nature guides. We promise you haven’t been to a show like this before. Hosted by Mike Kandel and Charlie Sosnick Featuring Rufat Agayev, Rachel Coster, Robby Collins, and Sara Hennessey! Friday, June 17. 8pm.  A tender, meat-grinding, embodied interpretation of Mother of God going through it. She is a girl. She is a mother. She has a child; she loses that child. She is a social icon during the holiday season. A casualty of pain and glory and idolatry and consumerism and she is holding on, perhaps too hard. This experience exists in intrusive thoughts and coping mechanisms in an attempt to piece together meaning and reason.
Written and Performed by Rosalie Neal Direction: Tate Rehklau Scenic: JBROC Costumes: Chris Moseley Friday and Saturday, May 27-28. Doors at 7:30pm, show at 8pm.  BEN TURNS 40!

THE DREAMER EXAMINES HIS PILLOW
"There's only one thing that goes straight my baby, and it's not love." -Dad Love and Death; Donna and Tommy can't live without each other, and they just might kill each other. Which has Donna asking, "Who's life is it anyway?" Time to talk to Dad. John Patrick Shanley's 1985 play "The Dreamer Examines His Pillow" is a psychological and sometimes psychedelic gut-punch that works to awaken us to, and connect us within the dream of our lives. Told with savagery and hilarity in equal parts by one of the best American playwrights in a generation. Revived in 2021 because as Andre Gide often repeated, "Everything that needs to be said has already been said, but since no one was listening, we have to say everything again." Presented by Wild Rose Theatre With Natasha Walfall, Khari Constantine, and Sergio Fuenzlida Featuring art by Dani Marco, and percussion by Mohomadou Diawara Directed by Jonathan Wilde December 9th, 10th, and 11th. Doors at 7:45, show at 8pm.  PETTING ZOO: LIVE COMEDY WITH LIVE ANIMALS

IDEOLOGIX is a queer Polish fantasia from Cloud City resident playwright Eri Nox, centering around Flo and Bambi, a queer couple who have been hosting an underground LGBTQIA2+ party in Kazimierz, Kraków. IDEOLOGIX loosely follows Witkacy’s Oni, which prophecizes the rise of fascism in the 1940s. “They” are everywhere and everyone, not just the douche-bros who moved in upstairs and want to shut the party down… not just Bozena and Cristina, two somewhat straight Polish women who are experiencing the underground queer scene for the first time. “They” may not be safe… “They” are probably coming for you… “They” might even be you. Nox blends Witkacy’s deep philosophical musings and word play with their own experiences as a nonbinary American in this immersive, musical performance in which audiences are encouraged to move through, and even dance along with the performance. IDEOLOGIX will be performed in Polish and some English, with subtitles in both languages. Cloud City will be streaming the performance live(ish) from Kraków! Wear your best drag or rainbow flags.
