Celebrate with Penthouse and the cast of Caligula Maximus, Alfred Preisser and Randy Weiner's outrageous circus themed theatrical extravaganza currently playing at the Ellen Stewart Theatre, 66 E. 4th St in New York, when the show completes its extended run on April 17th.
The party will take place on the set when the curtain comes down. Penthouse is donating complimentary issues of the magazines while supplies last.
Co-written by Alfred Preisser (Co-Founder, Classical Theatre of Harlem) and Randy Weiner (owner of the notorious night spot, The Box) and directed by Preisser, Caligula Maximus is set on the last night of the infamous dictator's life.
Ryan Knowles stars as Caligula, adult film star and Penthouse Pet
Justine Joli as his wife Caesonia, Lady Circus troupe aerialist Anya Sapozhnikova as his sister Drusilla, Luqman Brown as Sulla, the peanut vendor and
JerZ Short as circus master Helicon. The show features award-winning competitive bodybuilders Myra Adams and Rox
Anne Edwards, Coney Island Sideshow tattooed muscleman Tim DAX and an outrageous collection of over two-dozen circus performers, wrestlers, showgirls and freaks.
Check out what the critics are saying about
Caligula Maximus.
...a rock musical to make "Hair" pale by comparison, replete with nudity, sex, every form of perversion and violence ...a probing, provocative and profound piece of theater.
This cast is the hardest-working ensemble of diverse talents with vastly varied backgrounds that could be assembled. Each plays many parts and the energy level could light up Manhattan. In addition to well-trained experienced actors, singers and dancers, there are actual circus performers, strippers, muscle men and body builders. Heading it all is the utterly astonishing
Ryan Knowles, as beautiful a young man as the historical Caligula, an actor of range, sensitivity, colossal endurance, and a solid singer.
