BB & Pepe are BACK! In The 27th Annual Rhinoceros Theater Festival

For the 27th Annual Rhinoceros Theater Festival the Billy Goat Experiment players will perform a staged radio serial that was originally created for broadcast on the Chicagoland Radio Information Service. The Adventures of B.B. and Pepe was developed as a continuing half hour radio show about a young orphaned girl and her dog—a secret pirate radio host—who battle a dystopian theme park tyrant Seymour Whimsy, a facist clown put on ice and shot into space while his evil power broker Sebastian Pox and Seymour’s only offspring, the insane conjoined at the brain twins Fritz and Franny conspire to wipe the memories of all the citizens of San Cantonburg.

In this episode, the citizens of Old San Can begin acting strange after watching a new play, produced by Fritz and Franny, which suddenly becomes a disturbing and mesmerizing hit.

Fridays, 7PM

Billy Goat's "Cabaretta" (Part Cabaret, Part Operetta) "A Trunk Full of Babies' Breath" is based on the true story of Stella Willamson. Described as a "spinster", she lived a quiet life in Gallitzin, PA scrubbing the floors of the Methodist Church and making hoagies for the fireman's benefit year after year. At the time of her death in 1980 at the age of 76, a note was found written by her, that led to the discovery of 5 decomposed infants that she had kept wrapped in newspapers in a trunk in her attic for approximately 50 years.

"The reasons for death were never determined." -Anchorage Daily News, Oct 10, 1980.

This is her mysterious story in song.

Billy Goat in The 21st Annual Rhinoceros Theater Festival

FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 2010 AT 9 PM

Full Moon Vaudeville

AN OPENING NIGHT CELEBRATION
CURATED BY BEAU O'REILLY

Beau O'Reilly kicks things off with a rhinocerontic celebration of all things music, performance and luminescence. Musicians bring their own songs; performers bring their own instruments; there will always be something to see and hear onstage from a line-up including Elvisbride, the Crooked Mouth String Band, Midnight Moxie, and Vernon Tonges. Expect some iconoclasm.

Thurdays, Sept. 27, Oct. 4, 18 & 25 at 7 pm
Black Box—A play Crash is a play within a play crafted in
the frenetically absurd tradition of a marx Brothers romp. Fast,
furious and aggressively moronic.
