Some Things You Need to Know Before the World Ends (A Final Evening With the Illuminati)
In a post apocalyptic bunker-sanctuary, a lone keeper of the flame presides: aging hippie-survivalist Reverend Eddie (tormented by whispering voices and paranoid hallucinations) denounces the secretive, omnipresent, and mind-controlling Illuminati. With the help of his last remaining acolyte (the ever faithful hunchback, Brother Lawrence) Reverend Eddie celebrates his quixotic devotion by preparing for his final test of faith: a one-on-one basketball game with The Grim Reaper.

A wildly inventive pastiche of sermon, song, sport, schtick, and survival, THE ILLUMINATI is unlike anything you have ever seen on the stage!
