A storytelling odyssey combining theater, drag, movement, and audience engagement to create a show unlike any other!

You may think you know Ursula the sea witch, but we assure you, you do not. Ursula: The Greatest Story Never Told, from the mind of Kenny Rooster, is a new myth. The daughter of Poseidon and Sister of Triton is banished one day, and must find her place in a complex world. A story of love, loss, and the cost of vengeance.

Narrated by Kenny Rooster, and brought to life by a cadre of incredible performers, Ursula will immerse the audience fully in the world of the story. Audience members will be given items to use during the show to participate, and asked to yell things out (think Rocky Horror). Dressing up in the theme of the show is delightfully received but not expected. There will be a Q+A with cast after the show.

Featuring:

Oberon the Demon as "Poseidon"/"Lover'

Hannah Alden Jeffrey as "Triton"

Hunny du Bunns as "Circe"

Lola Areola as "Schmitty Titty"

Thotsin Prayers as "Nymph"

Jae Ahmed and Tiyon Tazewell as "World Builders"

and

Kenny Rooster as "Ursula"

*Priority Seating will guarantee a seat in the first three rows, and will allow admittance 30 min before doors for a cocktail (or mocktail!), signed posters and memorabilia, and special opportunities for audience participation (optional).

**This show is not age restricted, but does involve innuendo, stage death, a middle finger or two, allusion to assault, and stage fighting.
