Theatre of Yugen Presents A NOH CHRISTMAS CAROL
Based on the Charles Dickens classic, the reimagined story in Meiji era Japan is told using a combination of noh, kyogen, kabuki, and butoh, bringing this classic story to life in a fashion unlike any production you have seen. Ebezo Sukurooji [Ebenezer Scrooge] receives a visit from his deceased business partner Jakube Mashima [Jacob Marley] warning him to change his miserly ways or be doomed to linger forever as a hungry ghost. Sukurooji is next visited by 3 Ghosts - of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet-To-Come who take him on a wondrous journey through life and time in a profound attempt to remind him of the value of life beyond business and profit.

Theatre Of Yugen Presents POWER PLAYS
May Mayhem returns this year with Power Plays. Theatre of Yugen is deeply indebted to the history of civil rights, community, and social justice that the current President and his administration are so flagrantly disregarding. So they're fighting back with their favorite weapon: satire. The history of ky?gen is that of satirizing those in power, revealing them to be no better (or sometimes even worse!) than the common man. Theatre of Yugen is excited to present two classic ky?gen plays, A Religious Dispute and Wrestling With a Mosquito, and premiere two contemporary ky?gen adaptations, Those Mushrooms and All Wrecked Up.
