The header on Puppet Uprising's Web site right now — Five Acts * Five Companies * Five Desserts * One Play — is enough to pique our interest. But it's the secret part that really sends our drama-club hearts aflutter.
Here's the deal: At 8 p.m. tonight through Monday (that's the Ides of March, hint hint), get yourself gussied up and head to the Broad-and-Vine subway stop, and make sure you're wearing a red carnation so the folks running the show (Missoula Oblongata and Puppet Uprising) know who you are. They'll lead you to an undisclosed location for a night of snacks (we're hearing rumors of hot toddies and cupcakes) and theater (this year's production, in case you hadn't guessed, is Julius Caesar).
As that headline suggests, five companies are joining forces for this five-act endeavor — including Philly's own Green Chair Dance Group, Puppetyranny and Fence Kitchen. Did we mention that an emperor-size party's scheduled for closing night? Did we mention the hot toddies?
Missoula and the Uprising have been at this DIY theater game for years, presenting The Tempest in 2008 and King Lear in '09; tickets ($20 ahead of time; $25 at the door) have been known to sell out, so buy yours now. And don't forget that carnation.
Through Mon., March 15, 8 p.m., $20-$25, Broad and Vine streets, puppetuprising.org, themissoulaoblongata.com.
