You know that nightmare about being onstage in your underwear? Shentai promises to be every bit as startling and surreal, combining avant garde theater with Barnum-inspired spectacle and junkyard art—performances overlapping and replacing one another without a moment’s warning [see our photo gallery at right or click here for a slide show].
Not your typical theater experience, so don’t treat it as such; rather, let Shentai dizzy up your senses for a night. Opens Thursday, June 14; runs through July 1. $15-20, doors at 7:30pm. The Ix Building, 955 Second St. SE. For tickets, call the Live Arts box office at 977-4177.
Free news is good news!
Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
