The St. Pete theater company brings a “punk twist” to the production but is pretty tight-lipped about what that entails except some costumes straight out of Trash and Vaudeville.

Two-time New York Times Critics pick Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj directs the show, with Saren Nofs Snyder, Amanda Jane Snyder, Patrick A. Jackson, and Amber McNew making up the four-person cast.

Among other COVID-19 protocols, masks are required including during the show. “If a patron removes their mask, the performance will be paused until they replace it.”
