Calendar Pick: The Search for the Skunkape

The Search for the Skunkape

Presented by local tape label and show promoter Attaboy Tapes, the Shadow Box Theater will perform a new play, The Search for the Skunkape, before taking the show on the road to five other cities. Led by Phil Jasen and Otoño Gaskins, the Shadow Box Theater is a shadow puppetry troupe that has previously performed Lupita’s Revenge. This will be a live action show with accompanying sound performances by Centaur’s Night Cream, a group that features members of Immaterial Possession and Peepa Show. The inspiration behind the play and the name “skunkape” hails from the Florida Everglades as the regional name for Bigfoot. The performance will utilize a crankie, or a scroll attached to two spindles that is “cranked” to gradually reveal the scenes. Doors will open at 8 p.m., and the show will begin at 9 p.m.

WHO: The Search for the Skunkape
WHEN: Monday, July 31, 8 p.m. (doors)
