Coming up next...

A witty Theatrical Collage adorned with live music and physical comedy
inspired by the illustrations of Edward Gorey, Victorian reverie, ill-fated romance,
calamitous croquet, and the dangers of windy cliffs.
​
These dark comedic vignettes also feature a seance, precocious children, and will transport you into a world where unseen dangers cause laughter.
​
Featuring
Gwen Grastorf, Mark Jaster, Sabrina Mandell, Sarah Olmsted Thomas
and guest artists Stephanie Baird and James Owens.
​​
“Wickedly funny...a Gorey illustration brought to life.
It's a feather that will tickle your fancy.”
- Washington Post
“Gleams with the precision that has become Happenstance’s hallmark...
a ghoulishly gratifying showcase of Edward Gorey-inspired grim reapings.”
​
“…a wonderfully imagined, expertly choreographed meditation on a theme…”
​
“The paradox of this company is how the severity of their physical technique opens up boundless opportunities for humor.”
