See! A charming rogue hoist on his own petard!
Cheer! As the confusion sowed plays out in surprising ways!
Watch! A young lady plot…and win!

The Belle’s Stratagem, reimagined into the 1960s, is a hilarious tale of

Location: Joe’s Movement Emporium.

Happenstance Theater is presenting a new work inspired by medieval imagery and archetypes collected from the works of Hieronymous Bosch, Pieter Bruegel, the Tarot, and reinterpretations of religious and alchemical art. Drawing parallels between our current moment and the “dark ages,” the ensemble will explore and exploit buffoonery, magic, notions of good, evil, and absurdity with angelic music, devised and existing text, puppetry, visual delight, and movement. Like a ship of fools, this pod of eccentrics will drift into the world to bring delight, share hopes and fears, find a way forward, and then parade away.  

Tickets: $25 or $15 Senior/Children. Click here.
