1.) March 6th: Return of Cosmic Spelunker Theater!
Cosmic Spelunker Theater
mime & poetry troupe
featuring James Van Looy & Ian Thal
We’re back! We will be performing at an undisclosed
location in Somerville, MA on the evening of
Saturday, March 6th. We will perform two acts.
The first act will feature our show, “Give and Take”
which we’ve not performed in Massachusetts in almost
a year and, the second act will be a sneak preview
of a new show, “Waltz to War” which will be
premiered in April.
The host has reqested that the location not be
openly advertized.
Email me at thal@gis.net for an invitation and
directions.
2.) Blog Update
Recent topics include the final chapters of my stint
with Bread & Puppet Theater, reflections on American
history and culture, and a recent Whimsy
performance.
I have also been asked to rework the Bread & Puppet
narrative into a series of articles. More news to
follow further on down the line.
