Mum Puppettheatre Coffee and Conversation after the Wednesday, October 23rd performance of The Madwoman of Chaillot - All for just $2

For Immediate Release: October 19, 2002

It's an average, middle of the week, Wednesday night. Suddenly, you find yourself wondering, "How would five performers use mime, masks, and improvisational comedy and music to create a one-of-a-kind adaptation of a classic French play?" For the answer, look no further than the first Coffee and Conversation evening at Mum Puppettheatre! We've prepared a show unlike any other in Philadelphia. What's more, now you have a chance to see the show, enjoy coffee and dessert from Whole Foods Market, and meet the cast who created the production. It gets better: this entire evening will only cost you $2!

Philadelphia, PA - Join us on Wednesday, October 23rd at 7:30 p.m. for a completely unique performance of Mum Puppettheatre's The Madwoman of Chaillot. After the show, enjoy a cup of coffee (or tea!) and some dessert, and talk to the performers. At Coffee and Conversation, you'll discover what it takes to create a Mum Puppettheatre production. You'll meet Aaron Cromie and Dawn Falato of Hotel Obligado productions, Jen Childs of 1812 Productions, Dave Jadico, a player with Comedy Sportz, and Robert Smythe, Artistic Director and founder of Mum Puppettheatre. Find out how five 21st century performers use the centuries-old traditions of commedia dell'arte, mime, and mask-work to tell a timeless story of love, honor, greed and corruption as it has never been told before!

Now what about that unbelievable price of $2? Not only is The Madwoman of Chaillot the most unique production in Philadelphia, but it has the most unique ticket prices as well! Admission to the first preview is only $1 and ticket prices increase by just $1 for each subsequent performance. The first Coffee and Conversation happens to fall on the second preview, so you get an incredible show, delicious food, and great conversation for $2!

At Mum Puppettheatre, we believe in making you, the audience, a part of the creative process. Coffee and Conversation is a fun way to share our craft and also get your feed-back and impressions! The Madwoman of Chaillot will also have Coffee and Conversation evenings on October 30th and November 6th.
