Synopsis
CARMEN
All of the Sex & Murder – None of the Singing! Bring your Mom!
You know the story of Carmen. (A gypsy woman seduces a soldier and convinces him to desert the army; then she leaves him for a bullfighter so he kills her.) OK, now you know the story of Carmen. But you have never seen or heard it like this.
Wisconsin Hybrid Theater returns with another “Old Timey LIVE Broadcast” from “Radio WHT” (Radio what? Exactly), creating our own version of the popular opera which Wikipedia says “virtually killed” Opéra Comique.
Come and laugh with the company that Russ Bickerstaff of the Shepherd Express calls “very, very funny.”
Special Mother’s Day Guest: flapper jazz group “Bootless Betties” (May 9 only)
written by Charles Sommers
Wisconsin Hybrid Theater (Radio WHT) performs original adaptations of late 19th century stories in a mid 20th century medium for an early 21st century audience and their mom.
