Ursa Major presents How to Be Cool
Performances benefit Theatre Babylon's Renovation Fund.
We all want to know how to be cool. Meet the one man who really truly believes he might be able to teach us how.
Ursa Major presents How to Be Cool, an original comedy about music, monkeys, and the Culture of Cool.
The show will run as a special fundraiser for two nights only, April 27 and 28, at the Union Garage. All of the box office will go to Theatre Babylons Renovation Fund, to help bring the mainstage theatre in the Union Garage up to code after the venue was shut down by the Seattle Fire Department.
It is 1962, and the students at Oakvale High School are getting more than they could have imagined today during their Civics Class. So is the Civics teacher, as she hands the proceedings over to Eugene Wright, a man who is so filled with thoughts about the future, politics, ethics, and consumer culture that he can scarcely contain himself. He plays records. (Your records! Bring your own LPs and 45s!) He shows slides. He tells stories. And though he sure does not look cool, he just might be onto something.
How to Be Cool is written and directed by John Longenbaugh, Theatre Babylons artistic director, and features Evan Whitfield and Nikki Visel-Whitfield.
How to be Cool will open with a curtain raiser, Important Dates in History, originally written by Longenbaugh in one night for the recurring 14/48 Play Festival. Abeﾒs girlfriend is sick and tired of his slacker ways, so she leaves him. Just to show her, he builds a time machine. Now with all of space and time at his command, he will find himself a real girlfriend! This short humorous piece also features Whitfield and Visel-Whitfield, and travels some 3,000 years across time and space before setting us in 1962 for the main event.
