Come tackle abstinence culture in this absurdly original one-woman comedy where you'll be dazzled by the pom squad, cheer on the football captain and discover what's NOT HOLY from the Principal's smokin' hot wife.

Performed by Lilly Percifield

The E(XMAS)IST

Crashbox @ 7:30 pm

Ticket link coming soon!

A campy Christmas parody of the classic horror film The Exorcist, where Santa fights against dandy demon Krampus to see who's on top. Festive shenanigans, drag and DIY horror.

18+

Written by Vince Kelly

Directed by CB Goodman

Performed by Kelli Bland, Jay Byrd, Kyle Romero, Vincent Tomasino, & Kat Williams

Linda's Last Show

Currently in development!

The 100th birthday party of the President of the Fraternal Order of Buffaloes turns into an all-out battle of survival when the zombie apocalypse breaks out during Manny the Magnificent’s magic act. Now everyone is trapped in the wood paneled Assembly Hall surrounded by portraits of dead white guys and taxidermied animal heads lavishly decorated with gold party banners. Our tragic hero, underpaid and aging magician’s assistant, Linda, courageously attempts to fight off life-size zombie puppets while trying not to turn into a monster herself. If the audience has any hope of getting out alive, they must work together to save Linda, themselves, and all of humanity.

Using puppets, magic, and a whole lot of confetti, LINDA'S LAST SHOW explores the collapse of capitalism and imagines what a new and equitable future might look like.

Created and Performed by CB Goodman

Directed by Aitor Basauri

What's Happening on Instagram

What a celebratory day of resistance! King Dick Tater, Lady Liberty Roz, and Screaming Eagle Kelli @blandperson took probably 500 photos with laughing folks for 2+ hours. We couldn’t walk 2 feet without people asking for us to pose. We felt like super hero’s! And we loved running into our friends @ronberryjr, @lilly.percifield, @call_me_luu and @mamapuppeteer! And the creative protest 💩 sign feom @jamesdeanjaybyrd! Keep Creating! Keep Resisting! 💋💙

Join us at the NO KINGS protest at the Texas Capital for "a nonpartisan, peaceful, creative, wildly satirical grassroots street circus – to say loud and clear: No Kings in America."

🎪 Expect:

Parody and pageantry
Community action
Creative sign-making and satire
To help set a national record for the most circuses held in one day
