Based on the novel, The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, by Michael Butterworth, Lucky Stiff is an offbeat, hilarious murder mystery, complete with mistaken identities, six million bucks in diamonds, and a wheelchair-bound corpse. The story revolves around an unassuming English shoe salesman who is forced to take the embalmed body of his recently murdered uncle on vacation to Monte Carlo. Should he succeed in passing his uncle off as alive, Harry Witherspoon stands to inherit $6,000,000. If not, the money goes to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn… or else his uncle’s gun-toting ex! EHS Drama students present this musical farce that will leave you dying of laughter!

Summary: Liturgy for Longing is a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience created and performed by multidisciplinary performing artist Emily Clare Zempel. In Liturgy, audiences of 10 are invited to contemplate longing through collective experiences and solo performance.

Expand: Liturgy: a set of prompts created to encourage communal interaction with deep questions. Longing: that endless tug towards the I-don’t-know.

Why do we long? For what? In Liturgy for Longing, Emily has created a deeply personal, radically honest performance that aims to foster connection and engage audiences in unique and meaningful ways. Each audience member begins by entering a hallway to find a note written for them. After reading, Emily guides them into the theatre space to complete simple tasks (such as setting up a place to sit) to make that space their own. In the invitations that follow, each person is encouraged to engage in ways that feel right to them: there is always a choice, including the choice to observe. These communal elements are woven seamlessly into Emily’s performance of her own story, which unfolds through movement, dance, sound, and music. The audience is an integral part of the experience, making each performance a unique, unrepeatable event.
