Friends, Mark the date(s), and abuse that "forward" button! The Department of Redundancy Department's first major production, "Ten Buddhist Tales", opens Friday the 13th at the Bug Theatre, for a four-week run. It's a crazy, wacky play, unlike anything you've seen or are likely to see again, so it should be worth your while. The best way to get a small glimpse at what's in store for you is to check out some of the videos under "shown shows" at http://reredundancy.com Plot summary: A thrill-seeking Guru enlists the help of the Bearded Lady and her deranged theatre troupe to expand Buddhism for a western audience. As the Guru wallows deliciously deeper into their psychoses, the freaks themselves attain their own epiphanies, and find their ducks. Among other antics, the play features tango-dancing serial killers, Matrix-style "bullet-time" kung-fu fighting, a deranged Pope trio, extensive projections, a feature soundtrack, and a comic-book program. Ten Buddhist Tales is avant-garde, ecstatic, freakish, wild, raunchy, bloody, and above all wild, raunchy, and bloody. It is not recommended for children. The show dates and times are: 03/13 to 04/05 Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. Sundays at 2 p.m. on April 29 and May 5 Tickets are $10 for the general public, $20 for charitable Catholics.
