The harper’s play

By Paul Ketchum
February 5 - 14, 2015

Chooptown presents The Harper’s Play, a theatrical adaptation of the February 2014 issue of Harper’s Magazine, cover to cover. It careens through space and time - from Yahoo message boards to Pussy Riot’s Siberian prison; from the last guillotine execution in France to the Romance Novel Convention in Las Vegas. It will challenge you with the crossword puzzle of your worst nightmares. It will call you a “penis” to your face. It is the only thing that should be done with the February 2014 issue of Harper’s Magazine.

DATES
Feb 5 - 14
Thursdays – Saturdays at 8 pm
Additional show: Friday, Feb. 13 at 10:30 pm

Directed by Marty Brown
Featuring Sara Buffamanti, Aron Canter, Andre Harris, Matthew Korahais and Keelie Sheridan.
