A 24-Hour The Bald Soprano

Calling all 24-Hour Party People! Brat's signature performance event (Philly Metro's "Best Production of 2007") returns for a whole new round of round-the-clock, wall-to-wall comedy.

Six actors. Twenty-four performances. No breaks. No kidding! You may have heard of The Bald Soprano, Eugene Ionesco’s one-hour masterpiece of metaphysical nonsense that has been in permanent showing in Paris since 1957. Written as a continuous loop, the play contains directions in the final scene to start the performance over from the very beginning, with actors shifting roles for the next round.

Brat Productions takes this idea to its absurdly logical (illogical?) conclusion: at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, January 22, our fresh-faced actors enter this world...and won't take a powder until the clock strikes 8:00 p.m. the next night! YOU, however, can come and go, night and day—or stay for every waking minute.

Tickets are sold in 2-hour blocks and allow access to all other shows on a space-available basis. We're planning additional entertainment in the lobby of the Annenberg so there's never a dull moment. Add to this local food and drink samplings and 24 hours of free coffee, and you've got no reason not to stay up!
