Growing With Ghosts
"Subversive madcap Ken Roht sends his Orphean Circus forces (and audiences) on an outré tour of the eternal cycle...it's musical theater anarchy meets MOMA in a psychotropic PTA pageant... Roht's irreverent ingenuity continues untrammeled, his company displays imposing devotion and Keith E. Mitchell oversees hallucinatory designers. Eagle Rock has never seen anything like it, and neither have you."

Splendor: A 99¢ Only Stores Wonderama
LA Times Critics' Choice!

Well, if Busby Berkeley had dropped acid while watching "The Powerpuff Girls" ... or if Howard Crabtree and Pina Bausch staged a discount retail trade show ... or if Cirque du Soleil and the Smurfs staged an avant-garde "Nutcracker" at a strip mall..."
