About the Play
ROSELITA'S
DEAD MAN is a Lesbian/ Death/ Love Triangle revenge story presented as a multiform
puppet piece (shadow and articulated tabletop) and accompanied by an original
electronic soundscape. It's part of a larger puppet/mask piece being developed
by ATL called THE LUNATIST [AND RELATED TALES OF WOE]. It is an expansion of
the same excerpt Brad McEntire presented solo at Bobbindoctrin Theatre's Puppet
Festival in Houston in 2007.
Engel
and McEntire had a great time in Phoenix. The show went great and everyone was
so freakin' friendly. Special thanks go out to dear friend and colleague Greg
Romero, for recommending Matt's
Big Breakfast (the griddlecakes get the highest marks!) and to Chris Danowski
of Theatre In My Basement He was the festival
founder/coordinator. Thanks to him for both putting Engel and McEntire up for
the weekend in his spare room (which was his office/daughter's room... so it
had a Mac on one side and a Barbie Dream House on the other) and, most of all,
for inviting them out to play to begin with.
