REVOLT OF THE BEAVERS– PRE-RECORDED

$5.00

REVOLT OF THE BEAVERS by Oscar Saul and Lou Lantz

July 24 and 25, 2020 , 7:30 PM. On Zoom

Theatre Off-Kilter is excited to present an ONLINE STAGED READING of a truly wonderful, bizarre, and decidedly OFF-KILTER historical play!!  While you have missed the LIVE event–we are glad to provide you access to the recording of the show that we made on our second night.

REVOLT OF THE BEAVERS by Oscar Saul and Lou Lantz

Directed by C. Austin Hill

First produced in 1937 as a part of the Federal Theatre Project, REVOLT OF THE BEAVERS is a theatre for young audiences piece about two school children who find themselves mixed up in a worker-beaver revolt against their cruel (and disproportionately wealthy) Chief Beaver.

Described by critics as “Marxism a la Mother Goose,” this play is partially responsible for the cancellation of the Federal Theatre Project–and it attracted the attention of the House UnAmerican Activities Committee.

Our reading will be appropriate for children and adults–though buyer beware–this play leans, uh, a little left. SO FAR LEFT…like DAM (it’s a beaver joke). Slightly further left, and it’d tip right over…TIMBER (another beaver joke).  The play is silly fun with an important edge!

Access to this recording of our fundraising event is just $5, with proceeds going to help produce Theatre Off-Kilter’s upcoming season of work.
