The 2nd Attack of the Killer B-Movies: Barbarella
September 2009 comes another Foul Play, the 2nd Attack of the Killer B-Movies, a trio of deadly B-movies at their biggest, baddest and most brilliant! Three classics, Blue Velvet, the Bride of Frankenstein and Barbarella, are brought to life by an intrepid acting ensemble and "streamlined" by Sean Owens (Best Comic Playwright, SF Weekly). The 2AOTKBM plays three nights a week for three weekends eachand all three deftly handled by a fearless stable of actors.
This year's Killer B-Movie features are a stellar triptych of fiery female figures-- from a shattered chanteuse, a newly-reborn newlywed, and an intergalactic ingenue! This year, Foul Play is digging up dark secrets, be they from the grave, deep scape, or America's own backyard. Three separate evenings of standalone theater, special designed to form an unforgettable trilogysee the whole set, or forever wish you had! There are only THREE WEEKEND EACH of this spectacular stage phenomenon, in one of SF's most intimate and accessible theater settings."
Equal parts camp and cunning, each of these film classics are tributes brought to life by a collaboration of local artists and designers, and represent some of the best talents of real underground SF theater. Drawing on a multitude of story-telling effects such as shadow work, puppetry, dance, and animation, the 2AOTKBM combines our diverse skills to create a unique only-in-SF vision. Return audience members will appreciate the repurposing of key props and set pieces, as an Easter-egg bonus feature.
Stand back because this woman needs her space! Five-Star Astro-Navigatrix BARBARELLA (Khamara Pettus) is on a mission to find and recover Duran Duran (Fennel Skellyman), creator of the abominable Positronic Ray. To track her quarry, she must penetrate the City of Night where the Great Black Queen and her Leathermen hold power supreme. When space age skills fail her on this untamed world, she befriends the winged Pygar (Cameron Eng) and rebel leader Dildano (Eddie Barol)and finds that primitive man isnt so bad after all. Brought to life through the puppet/mask crafters Christina Shonkwiler and Philip Sebastian, the wig design of Jordan L. Moore, and the animations/videography of Jeremy Solterbeck, Barbarella is directed by Sean Owens and Cameron Eng.
