Mashup Fest and Landless Kickstarter

There must have been a typhoid Mary backstage at Elvis Birthday Fight Club, because most everyone involved backstage in the show wound up sick with the flu afterwards...including yours truly. So, that means that not much of the ole art has been accomplished in these two weeks post fight club. However, things march on without us...namely, Landless Theater Company. They are gearing up to open the first show in their season: the Mashup Fest!

The Mash Up Festival - four irreverent mash-ups written by four talented local playwrights.

Four shows in one night!
February 4 - 26
Friday and Saturday nights
DC Arts Center, 2438 18th Street, Washington, DC
(in the heart of Adams Morgan)

The early shows:
Pee-Wee's Big Poseidon Adventure
&
All That Jaws
Tickets for the early shows: https://www.vendini.com/ticket-software.html?t=tix&e=daa28ee1f5ba8f6462fb8222ddb78ddd

Or make a night of it and get all for shows for a savings of $10!: https://www.vendini.com/ticket-software.html?t=membership&ms=7c6f0791237fd842b4d5582ff4c630d6&m=cfeb319e127499ea02e78045f9bd36a7

Yours truly has not contributed much to the shows...other than the occasional prop and this bush for Tarxxxanadu (I apologize for the crappy cell phone photo):


The other thing that Landless has announced in the past week is their Kickstarter campaign which actually provides a good deal on many of the ticket prices and subscriptions (as well as quirky incentives like "Chinese food with the artistic team of China the Whole Enchilada"...
