THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD: RECITE
A macabre coming of age story taking place on the last day of the world, The
Wonders of the World: Recite features two writers/performers (Donna Sellinger
and Madeline ffitch), one live musician (Nick Stocks) and an original score
by Leo Gebhardt, (formerly of acclaimed SubPop punk quartet The Catheters).
Also, there is much reference to Ulysses S. Grant as the ideal male specimen,
and a nine-foot tall lighthouse. also, the whole audience gets served birthday
cake.
