Wednesday April 7th: The UnSaddest Factory: A Night of Weird Theater
 
"At the End of Infinite Rope", starring Mason Ross, is play about a loud, abrasive, drunk, and unhinged professor lecturing about civilization's inevitable march to its own destruction. Ross was awarded "Best Comedic Performance" by the Baltimore City Paper for his role in "At the End of Infinite Rope".

"The Title Sounded Better in French" is set not quite in reality, but the next town over. The two main characters are two young women who find themselves onstage in search of a project; They work out failures, address broken hearts, and wake up laughing. The piece premiered at The Access theatre in New York City and was also performed as a part of the 2009 Whartscape at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

Showbeast is a touring puppet show and video series created by Benjamin Beast, Erin Gleeson and Alan Resnick. Showbeast has been screened all across the country including the Baltimore Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit, the Pop Montreal Music Festival, and the Pozen Center at MassArt. www.youtube.com/shwbst
