The Missoula Oblongata presents:
The Last Hurrah of the Clementines
Late
one night, a stranger knocks at the door of the Clementine residence (and laboratory…).
Industriously sending eggs into outer space, sharpening knives, and engaging in
higher mathematics, Mr. and Mrs. Clementine are suddenly called to live up to
their vow: "We will harbor any
fugitive, and ask questions later."
When later finally arrives, these questions
may include: 'Will Mr. Clementine retire?'; 'When did Mrs. Clementine know
she would never play sports professionally?'; And most importantly: 'Is the fortune-cookie delivery-woman at the
door really who she seems?'
The Missoula Oblongata is an
experimental theater company dedicated to creating and touring original work
that defies the conventions and constrictions of conventional contemporary
theatre. The company's DIY approach to lighting, sound, and set creation combines refined performances with artfully
assembled "found" design schemes which, in the words of The
Edmonton Sun, "…transform the stage into a place of magic."
This summer, The Missoula Oblongata
premieres 'The Last
Hurrah of the Clementines', an original play by Madeline ffitch
and Donna Sellinger, with a live musical
score by Travis Sehorn of the band Pebblelight.
'The Last Hurrah of the Clementines' will tour to the Berkshire Fringe
Festival, Bedlam Theater in Minneapolis, Puppet Uprising in Philadelphia, and
Baltimore’s Whartscape and Artscape, before making its way west!
