Trip it.

Prepare to lose your head with this trippy, hilarious, pulsating dreamscape of an adult fairy tale to convolute your New Year! Once upon an extraordinary time... there lived two sisters: Anne, considered by all in the kingdom to be an off-the-charts hottie... and Kate, considered by all in the kingdom to be her rather "plain" sister. One morning, Anne wakes up to discover a sheep's head between her shoulders. Hey... first time for everything, right? Thus begins the wild journey of the two sisters in their quest to reverse the curse and return Anne's true head to its proper place. Chock full of chemically-fueled raver boys, drug-addled adult babies suckling a maternal crack pipe, mystical dead crows, witches on toilets, headless sheep... Stray Cat proudly invites you to trip with us and taste a whole new flavor of "once upon a time". Directed by Gary Minyard, Artistic Director for Greasepaint Youth Theatre...taking a little walk on the wild side.

"...part rave, part poetry slam, part dog-eared storybook theater, and all edgy, infectious, ultra-theatrical entertainment…an adult fairy tale that, like its tough but vulnerable heroine, follows a warped dream logic while keeping its sharp-tongued wits about it." -- Los Angeles Times
