Still reeling from taking the award for Most Intriguing Stage at the 2nd Annual Baltimore United Local Stage and Hidden Independent Theater (B.U.L.S.H.I.T) Awards, hosted by local Baltimore reviewer The Bad Oracle on January 26th, Cohesion Theatre Company is excited to announce its second production in The Inaugural Season, 13 Dead Husbands by Tom Horan. A Baltimore premiere production, 13 Dead Husbands will run March 12 to 29 and be directed by Cohesion co-founder Brad Norris. Written by Tom Horan, 13 Dead Husbands tells the fanciful and darkly comedic story of Dee-Dee, "the most beautiful woman in the world," and the men who come from far and wide to woo and wed her, only to end up dead under mysterious circumstances. As friends Marcel and Jean Pierre compete for her hand, they ask if one of them should marry her, will they live to enjoy it? Told with charming humor and a surreal and fantastic design, Husbands champions the simplicity of love, and the joy of possibility.
As an added treat for audiences 13 Dead Husbands will include preshow musical entertainment by Cohesion's house band, The Napoleon Complex, as well as drink service at the in-theatre Café Au Lait starting 45 minutes before each show. Audiences are encouraged to arrive early, and spend some time in this fanciful world.
13 Dead Husbands will run Thursdays through Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm. Tickets are $20 for Adults and $15 for Students and Seniors, and can be purchased online at cohesiontheatre.org/tickets.
The team at Church on the Square has also generously agreed to allow Cohesion access to their space to continue offering their exciting ancillary events during the production. On Sunday, March 15 Cohesion will host an Ides of March Celebration following their 2pm performance of 13 Dead Husbands. For a $5 suggested donation there will be live music by the band The Arden Bards at 5pm followed by a 75-minute Staged Reading of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar cut and directed by Alicia Stanley starting at 6pm.
Cohesion is also quickly making good on one of their core goals to partner with other theater groups in Baltimore. Cohesion will welcome the talented improvisers from Baltimore Improv Group for a special performance on Sunday, March 22 at 6pm for infinite fun in infinite combinations! Sunday's show brings together a SMASH UP of Baltimore improvisers and players from across the region. The show will start with sets from three regional improv comedy troupes. The audience will then SMASH UP these performers into new teams who will perform a mixture of competitive improv games for the audience's amusement! Preshow music from The Arden Bards will start at 5pm. Tickets for the show are only $10 each and can be purchased at www.cohesiontheatre.org/tickets.
