Fri 12/3 – Sun 12/19
Christmas, Marines AWOL from Iraq, a Persian love goddess and corporate American agri-business all collide down at Pawpaw’s pig farm in the world premiere of convergence-continuum’s APORKALYPSE! @ the Liminis. And, since it’s the holidays and all, the play even includes festive singing and accordion-playing. Yeehaw.
More details:
APORKALYPSE! is set in the mountain country of North Carolina where Pork Corp has bought out nearly all the farms in the area and set up factory farming of hogs. The last hold-out is Pawpaw and Mawmaw’s family pig farm where they, and their PTSD-afflicted, Gulf War vet son Karol, are under siege, surrounded by the stench and environmental degradation of Pork Corp’s operations. Into this mess comes son JP, AWOL from duty in Iraq, just in time for Christmas. The stress of cabin fever reigns and leads to some wild shenanigans when the family is visited by Karol’s sexy social worker, devious Pork Corp executives, accordion-toting carolers, not to mention, an apparition of a Persian love goddess.
APORKALYPSE! is directed by convergence-continuum’s Artistic Director, Clyde Simon, and features actors Michael Regnier, Marcia Mandel, Geoffrey Hoffman, Scott Gorbach, Sarah Kunchik, Tom Kondilas and actor/musicians sade wolfkitten and Joe Milan.
