What Elsas Knew in a Peril is back after it's 2017 Sold-Out Run!
It is a riotous original theatrical piece written by Brandon Olson and directed by Ildiko Nemeth, incorporating dance and music in a surrealist tale, that explores the world of transgender sex workers and the redemptive powers of connection and creativity. Taking inspiration from The Emperor's New Clothes, and Dadaism, the project culminates in public performances at the New Stage Performance Space Feb 8-11.
