Archbishop Supreme Tartuffe
Synopsis:
the Classical theatre of Harlem continues its current season with Archbishop Supreme Tartuffe, an original play with music, inspired by Moliere's great comic classic and informed by the gloriously unorthodox ministries of Reverend Ike, Daddy Grace, and Rasputin. Set within a fabulously theatrical Harlem Renaissance-era 'church', the play explores the outrageously creative criminal mind of the title character through a series of songs, dances, sermons, and feats of divine inspiration

Caligula Maximus
Synopsis:
Caligula Maximus takes place on the last night of the notorious dictator's life, in his palace where he is stage managing, directing, and starring in one of his famous "entertainments" which test the limits of human intellect and appetite. Caligula, sensing the encroachment of monotheistic religions (Christianity and Judaism), holds a phantasmagoric revival meeting in which he attempts to save the world by ushering in a new religion with himself as its principle prophet and god. Caligula's "senate" is an outrageous collection of circus performers, wrestlers, animals, show girls, and freaks who enact his spectacles and indulge his whims and fantasies. As the revival meeting reaches fever pitch, his troupe grows weary of being used as toys, gains a sense of their own power and, bedecked in the war paint and leather costumes of barbarian invaders, descend upon him and murder him in mob frenzy. Expect circus, music, dance, rhetoric, and the unexpected.

Donkey Show, The
Synopsis:
clubbing adaptation of a Midsummer Night's Dream. there is no dialogue but a carnival of undulating, roller-skating tattoed bodies. Titania, in thigh-high shiny boots and a ruff of peacock feathers gives new resonance to her name, with butterflies perched on each nipple. As the lovers lose each other in a forest of people, Helena sings "Don't leave me this way". the magic potion is a bag of cocaine.
